The Projectionist: Super Bowl Weekend Edition

mark · 02/04/05 02:33PM

We're going to be candid with you about something: We're spending the weekend breathing through our mouth, pounding as many handfuls of Cheetos and cans of Bud Light as our digestive system can tolerate, and acting genuinely disappointed when the Super Bowl commercials don't live up to our expectations. We do not know, nor do we care, about what's happening at the box office this weekend. Welcome to America!

We now refrain from addled tales of forced plastic surgery and half-assed literary allusions to turn our attention to the only place it belongs on a rainy Monday morning: the weekend box office numbers.

Monday Morning Box Office: Consider Yourself Focked

Choire · 12/27/04 03:15PM

Christmas goes a bit ass at the box office, down $40 mil from last year's Christmas weekend—but still, can the studios really blame baby Jesus having his birthday on a Saturday for shitty turn-out, given our choices?

The Projectionist: One Last Job, Again

mark · 12/10/04 02:04PM

We pull into the holiday home stretch with a fresh batch of our usual projections of questionable value. Why should anything be different because we're drinking egg nog stinking of rum?

The Projectionist: Hollywood's Dry Heaves

mark · 12/03/04 04:29PM

Hollywood's release schedule is in the dry-heaves phase after a couple of weeks of heavy, Thanksgiving season reverse-peristalsis. Indulge us as we pick through last week's half-digested corn and come up with a new set of box office projections.

Awaken from your three-day turkey coma and head towards the light of the weekend box office numbers. (These are three-day weekend estimates, not super-sized five-day grosses.)
