Spoke Too Soon!

Filed under: Film Flickers

Though The Book of Eli took a nice lead from Avatar on Friday, the flick couldn't sustain it for the whole weekend.

Now, for the fifth week in a row, Avatar has taken the top spot at the box-office, bringing in $41.3 million in the last three days. Book of Eli now sits at a comfortable 2nd place.

Something tells us that the only movies that are going to knock this flick off its throne will involve a superhero, a boy wizard, or a vampire.

Do we have anything like that coming anytime soon?

      The Lightening Thief will probably do well, but maybe not enough to knock Avatar from the top.

      Haha. Yeah, you kinda got nailed yesterday for it.

      This is from GossipCop yesterday…

      PEREZ SHOULD BE REDFACED FOR CLAIMING “BOOK OF ELI” BEAT “AVATAR” AT BOX OFFICE

      Earlier today Gossip Cop reported that James Cameron’s Avatar had won the box office for a fifth consecutive weekend, which it did.

      While Avatar ceded Friday (narrowly) to The Book of Eli, starring Denzel Washington as a post-apocalyptic hero, actual box office results handed another big weekend at the #1 spot to the reigning sci-fi phenomenon.

      Too bad Perez Hilton can’t quit his habit of copying and pasting stories before he even reads them.

      Yes, the blogger once again goes light on facts and late on “news,” breathlessly posting, “Eli Kicks Avatar Off It’s (sic) High Horse,” and going on to claim, “if the numbers remain consistent throughout the weekend,” The Book of Eli would beat Avatar for the top spot.

      Oops.

      Just to reiterate: After everyone else named Avatar #1 based on Friday through Sunday numbers, Perez used Friday numbers to declare that Avatar’s reign had finally ended.

      Again, oops.

      Why the fuck are you soo desperate for this movie to lose its number 1 spot?
      don't you realise even if it does ,its still gonna be a big movie because of all the hype about it? now shuttup!



    8. 8

      LMAO - GossipCop was right about you once again. You've got absolutely no knowledge of anything to do with entertainment, you just copy and paste without checking any facts. This looks great on you asshole.

      Or a Pirate ;)

      Avatar is a movie you want to see at least twice. Especially for the 3D. I LOVE IT!!! But I want to see The Book of Eli too. Denzel rocks.



    11. 11

      Perez, you failed to mention how you were 10 million dollars off from being correct. You never mentioned Book of Eli's weekend box office gross of $31.6 million compared to Avatar's weekend box office gross of $41.3 million. Book of Eli was not close to beating Avatar. 10 million dollars is a big difference.



    12. 12

      you forgot about Alice in Wonderland. that movie should do the trick

      Didn't you also make the statement that Avatar bombed at the box office after it's initial release. Yes, that statement was accurate as well.
      Maybe you should keep your fucking mouth shut, dumbass.



    15. 15

      HARRRY POTTER :) )))))))



    16. 16

      I still remember when u were questioning Avatar's opening weekend saying the movie will hardly earn the money they invested in it…
      what do u have to say now???!!!
      poor Perez :)



    18. 18

      That's right Fuckface.



    19. 19

      Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief probably buuuuut that will be february 12… so avatar will keep the #1 spot for now



    20. 20

      I honestly do not understand Perez Hilton.
      He posted that Avatar was a flop when it showed absolutely no sign of flopping.

      Within the next few weeks Avatar's domestic box office receipts will be the higer than Titanic's whopping $6b and will be crowned the highest grossing movie of all time.

      It's one thing to dislike a movie you haven't seen and/or even deplore the person who made it… but to flat out LIE?

      Why Perez?

      Here's the catch, I have never heard James Cameron mention Perez Hilton's name once.



    21. 21

      meh hollywood is an old boys club, and obviously cameron still has an in.
      I thought for sure he'd be blackballed by now, but enough old housewives
      still go to his shows, obviously, and 'rents living in th past inflict them on their
      offspring



    22. 22

      Haha, I`m glad you saw you were wrong. Why are you always hating on avatar??? That Movie was AMAZING!!! You`re just pissed because your little "tour" sucked!!



    23. 23

      wow you admitted you were wrong. that's refreshing. kudos perez!



    24. 24

      Avatar is the best movie i have ever seen!! You are just an idiot! You Dickhead!



    25. 25

      Avatar will lose all of its 3D and IMAX screens on March 5th to Alice in Wonderland, and those screens are where it's making most of its money with the inflated ticket prices.



    26. 26

      I think valentine's day is gonna blow up and knock avatar out of first place



    27. 27
