Eli Kicks Avatar Off It's High Horse

Filed under: Film Flickers

movie.jpg

It had to happen eventually!

This weekend, it looks like the box-office title will be stripped from the blue warriors of James Cameron's imagination.

If the numbers remain consistent throughout the weekend, Denzel Washington's new flick The Book of Eli will out-gross Avatar. On Friday, Eli raked in $11.7 million verse Avatar, which only nabbed $10.5 million.

Course, there still some time to get back on top, but it just goes to show that Avatar's reign can't last forever.

Tick tock! Tick tock!

    5. 5

      what is it with you and avatar? obviously avatar's reign can't last forever … just like gaga's won't!!! her last CD didn't even debut at number one!



    10. 10

      Finally saw Avatar. I didn't like it. I just couldn't get into the blue alien people look.



    11. 11

      You're such a bad speller Mario or Bab's and such haters! It doesn't matter when you compare overall $ intake Avatar took. Stop trying to spin stories that aren't accurate fat bitches!



    12. 12

      Geez you're really lazy Perez. Boxofficemojo.com already has the weekend box office. Avatar crushed The Book of Eli $41 million to $31 million thanks to a huge Saturday.



    13. 13

      ITS HIGH HORSE, FAT BOY.



    14. 14

      You're an idiot! Avatar is still #1

      As usual, Perez is wrong. Stay away from anything that involves numbers.



    16. 16

      Perez, sorry for you, but Avatar is the No. 1 again according to Boxoffice Mojo. Avatar rules!

      NO fucking shit sherlock.. obviously it wont last forever because once everyone has seen it THE MONEY GROSSED PER WEEK will go down, you're such an idiot!



    19. 19

      Perez. You look like a fool with your Avatar box office stories. Avatar is is estimated to have made $41 million this weekend compared to Eli's $31 million.



    20. 20

      Sorry to disappoint, but Avatar pulled through and made an astounding $40 mill this weekend - which, if you didn't know, is its FIFTH weekend at #1. Incredible.

      Book of Eli only managed to debut with $30 mill.

      Hate Cameron all you want, but don't take it out on the movie!
      It's… Amazing. No other word to describe it!



    21. 21

      i really dont get why you dont like the movie…oh wait you love gagaloo wich explains everything,

      you just like shit but thats ok ;)



    22. 22

      Perez do you not do your research? The results are in :

      #1. Avatar over $41 million this week only dropped 18% from last week
      #2 Book of Eli $31 Million plus bad word of mouth

      do you think book of eli not gonna drop by more than 50% next week? Avatar is on its way to passing over $500 Million tomorrow. Stop hating on the movie. I cant stand James Cameron either but damn that Avatar is the best movie I ever seen. I saw it twice already.

    23. 23

      asshole.



    24. 24

      maybe u need to do some research Perez… b/c before u post something like that… Avatar was only beat by 1$ million on friday however won the top spot for the weekend by 10$ million over the book of eli… Perez ur a stupid douche who needs to get some facts … im not sure u know what that is…



    25. 25

      Wrong again fuckhead. From GossipCop - t’s official: Avatar scored its fifth straight domestic box office win, earning $41.3 million in the three days beginning Friday.
      It’s now the third-highest grossing domestic movie ever at $491.8 million, behind Titanic and The Dark Knight. A fourth “weekend” day comes tomorrow with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and “Avatar” should top $500 million.
      Denzel Washington briefly knocked Avatar from the top of the box office on Friday, but the James Cameron sci-fi phenomenon should come back to win for an astounding fifth consecutive weekend, according to early estimates.
      You fucked up again, no surprise.



    26. 26

      Perez you're so wrong, check your resources.. Okay 'The book of Eli' was the most grossing movie on Friday but at the end of the weekend Avatar won ;) check www.imdb.com !!!



    27. 27

      Denzel Washington and Mila Kunis have box office appeal. LOL!! I love those two and the movie looks pretty good!! =)



    28. 28

      Fuck



    29. 29

      What the fucks is wrong with you!!! Avatar had a better weekend then Eli. You are the most retarded blogger in the history of the blogging. Avatar is not going to stay on top for ever. Maybe another week or two. But so what.

      sometimes you sound like a dysfunctional teen. You can tell this brings joy joy. You are such a loser



    31. 31

      perez, youre a fucking idiot and your site sucks. all you do is post wrong / old info or lift all your stories from other sites. this site is worthless and you're a piece of shit.

    32. memei says – reply to this


      32

      I think he has James cameron, maybe he dissed gaga. perez should be put to sleep he really disgusts me sometimes when he doesn't like something he goes on and on and on. time to take a break from this sight



    33. 33

      all the Christianists are going to see "Eli", pushing up its numbers.



    34. 34

      I haven't seen the Avatar movie but I'm not sure I can sit through a 3 hour movie.



    35. 35

      Pig-vomit speak translated to English:
      Title - It's = Its
      Body - verse Avatar = versus Avatar
      Course, there still some time = Of course, there is still some time



    36. 36

      Why are you always hating on Avatar??? This movie is amazing!!!



    37. 37

      An opener with a big name star usually takes a big drop on the second day.
      Maybe that's why Cameron stays away from big names when he casts.

      When Monday is included, Avatar is going to crush the competition again despite the lame and untrue criticism from the usual negabobs that there isn't enough of a plot for them. Avatar is a far better movie than last year's best picture winner.



    38. 38

      stick with the celebrity gossip and leave the box office predictions to people who actually know what they're talking about. no one was predicting Eli would win the weekend over Avatar after the friday numbers came in.

      why is this bitch deleting our messages. fucking loser. stop holding grudges fatty. not everyone agrees with you



    40. 40

      Re: Easydoesit – That's it the most ridiculous review of any movie I've ever read.



    41. 41

      For fuck's sake, learn the difference between "it's" and "its".



    42. 42

      Why are you posting Fridays box office numbers on SUNDAY? Avatar made 41 million while Eli made 31 million. Geez, way to keep up. Should I be reading about how Avatar stayed number 1 at the box office over it's weekend on Wednesday?



    43. 43

      lazy lazy lazy Perez……do a little more fact checking before bashing Avatar again.



    44. 44

      You're so stupid.. Mario!



    45. 45

      Where do you get your information? How the fuck are you publishing WRONG facts. Rofl, fail.



    46. 46

      avatar made more and is number 1. do your job.



    47. 47

      Waiting for a retraction Mario.



    48. 48

      FIX THIS POST STUPID!



    49. 49

      So, Avatar made a billion in the box office. I really doubt that Book Of Eli will make even CLOSE to that.



    50. 50

      i know…perez just cant stand the fact that avatar is indeed a good movie. duh! of course its not going to be #1 all the time!



    51. 51

      Saw Avatar twice this weekend and the theater was packed. Tickets were sold out by the morning for evening shows. Avatar is Awesome!



    52. 52

      Perez seems to think everyone will believe anything he post…



    53. 53

      i don't know why perez ALWAYS confuses it's with its. it's so simple. DUH
      avatar is still #1!!! yet another FAIL post.



    54. 54

      So as it turns out you're stupid AND fat. Pull your bleach soaked head out of your gargantuan ass and do some research you twat bag. Your numbers are about as fucked up as your lifestyle



    55. 55

      Wrong again dumbass! Yahoo is reporting Avatar brought in $41 million and Eli brought in $31 million. You're site has become completely unreliable as a source of information.



    56. 56

      This reminds me: I have to see Avatar again this week.

    58. 58

      Perez, you are a fucking retard.



    59. 59

      ummm wrong! avatar is still number one!



    60. 60

      he hates it because the Na'vi were hetro and because nathan lane was not in the film. so closed minded he is.

      Hello, whoever typed the headline:
      Its should not have an apostrophe.
      Has anyone there gone beyond the third grade?



    63. 63

      good. avatar sounds gay



    64. 64

      Re: kacky

      No, I think you're wrong. 'Its' is correct because the alternative would mean 'It is.' In any case, you're nit-picking.



    65. 65

      "Eli Kicks Avatar Off It's High Horse"

      It's = it is. Not possessive. The possessive is "its." mmmkthanks.

      Re: Phibes – Hahahahaha, I didn't even get that far in the idiocy typed in this blog. Good on you for persistence.



    67. 67

      Stick to celebrity nipple slips, and stop thinking you're good at anything else.



    68. 68

      oh shut up perez!!!! avatar is fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    69. 69

      Wrong again Perez! Avatar comes out on top! Why dont' you stick with what you know? I know, I'm trying to think of what that is also.



    70. 70

      Avatar was #1 again this weekend.
      1. Avatar $41,300,000
      2. The Book of Eli $31,615,000
      3. The Lovely Bones $17,060,000



    71. 71

      what is perez's problem with this film? its the seconded highest grossing film of ALL TIME, second only to titanic, also directed by james cameron, get over your issues perez



    72. 72

      Perez, nothing is going to kick Avatar off of it's "high horse" because even though week by week it may begin to earn less, it's still going to be the highest grossing movie in HISTORY. You're an idiot.



    73. 73

      dude thats just OPENING weekend. Avatar has made WAYY more than that.



    74. 74

      I LOVE AVATAR!! is just fantastic



    75. 75

      he would be too fat to be an extra anyway, no ugly ass cubans up in space



    76. 76

      Give credit where credit is due!! ELI gave Denzel his second biggest opening next to 2007's American Gangster. Eli also had the 3rd largest jan opening of all time. Best MLK opening for Warner Bros. Not bad for a film that didn't take 4 years to make. Avatar is cool I'm sure, but Eli is comin up folks. Definitely a movie worth seeing!!
