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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
