Miller & Rodriguez Sit Atop a "Sin"ful Weekend Jackpot
Box Office Mojo chimes in with the weekend's box office estimates, and let's just say it was a weekend full of "Sin." The all-star ultra-violent comic-noir "Sin City" hauled in an estimated $28 million in over 3,200 theaters. In second place was Queen Latifah's "Beauty Shop," which made just over $17 million since it opened last Wednesday. "Guess Who" came in 3rd with a $13m weekend haul, with "Robots" ($10m) in 4th and "Miss Congeniality 2" ($8.3m) in 5th."Sin City" will try to stay on top next weekend, but faces some solid competition from the adventure tale "Sahara" and the romantic comedy "Fever Pitch."

on Apr 04 2005 12:54 PM i was hoping it did make more money coz it definately should be seen by many. awesome movie! hope they make a sequel :-) (Reply to this) |
on Apr 04 2005 04:25 PM In reply to this comment (#821087) Yeah, I was kinda expecting it to make more too because of all the buzz and the ensemble cast. The visuals are pretty unique. I'm not sure if it can break $100M tho. It doesn't seem to have that wide of an appeal. It's a little bit too artsy and bleak. I could be wrong. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 04 2005 06:14 PM What is it with the guy at Box Offoce Mojo? He sounds like friggin Jerry Falwell. Ive noticed this in other stuff he's written too. I don't mind someone having a political view and expressing that, but it just seems kind of odd to see it at a movie box office site - and it makes for very poor, unobjective analysis imo. And he's doesn't just seem moderately conservative either, he comes off as some kind of far-right extremist. Weird. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 04 2005 08:33 PM [b]Sin City Box Office[/b] Since this was an R rated movie I think it did fantastic business. A PG-13 would have made more because more kids could have gotten in. But the movie would have been less violent and nothing like the comic. I think it could break 100 million. After all, Titanic opened to around the same amount and thanks to good reviews and word of mouth went on to become the biggest money maker ever. Although it wasn't rated R. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 04 2005 09:05 PM Wow, and here I was thinking the vast majority of the population would be thinking "I don't want to see a black and white movie". The theater I was in was freakin' packed. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 05 2005 12:25 PM Nice! I'm not surprised at how well it did! (Reply to this) |
on Apr 05 2005 01:01 PM With Rodriguez I wouldn't be surprised to see a sequel in as soon as a year from now. I wish I had a tenth of his energy. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 05 2005 03:45 PM I hope the do a second one. Donna A. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 05 2005 10:49 PM They should just take this movie out of the theater, and cut it into three parts forty-five minutes each and release them six months apart. Then they'd make more money and I'd be able to realize which scene was directed by Quentin Tarantino. (Reply to this) |
on Apr 06 2005 07:47 PM the scene directed by tarantino was the one when dwight and jackie boy are riding in a car and jackie boy, despite being dead, keeps mouthing off to dwight. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 07 2005 03:45 PM [b]Excellent[/b] It was really a great movie. Shut up, jasonbounre. You aren't worthy of that name. And yeah, Rodriguez said he plans to do all of the Sin City storis, and definately wants to do a sequel. It pays to be a movie buff... sometimes. You're welcome (Reply to this) |
