Valentine's Day #1 On V-Day Weekend? Who Would Have Thought!

Filed under: Film Flickers

valentines-day-movie-poste.jpg

Even though the star-studded chick flick is getting absolutely shiteous reviews, Valentine's Day is expected to take the #1 spot at the box office this holiday weekend!

The romantic comedy earned $16.5 million on Friday, with a projected $60 mil by the weekend's close.

That's a whole lotta estrogen-filled movie theaters!

Percy Jackson & The Olympians and The Wolfman are expected to nab the #2 and #3 spots, with Avatar tumbling all the way to #4 in box office earnings.

Finally!

      Avatar tumbling to #4? The movie made 22 million in its 9th weekend…that's more than most movie's make in their 1st week…And 'Dear John' fell to #5!

      Don't care about this movie that much, sorry!



    3. 3

      …Who WOULDN'T have thought. The movie is titled VALENTINE'S DAY. It is VALENTINE'S DAY weekend when it was released. Every pansy ass couple in the world is seeing this movie for VALENTINES DAY. It sucked though, they'll realize that about 5 minutes into the corny movie.

      I want to see this. I wonder if it's a movie similar to "Love Actually" (with all te different sub plots) because I really love that movie.



    5. 5

      I watched it and i can honestly say…WHAT A BRAIN NUMBING PEACE OF CRAP!



    6. 6

      it wasnt even that good..

      It's a total 'Love actually' rip off movie!



    8. 8

      I went with a friend thinking it would be just okay and was surprised that I really enjoyed it. It is funny, has a good pace/story, heart warming and leaves you feeling refreshed. A perfect date movie!



    9. 9

      Who would pay money to watch these 2ND rate losers? Not me unless I was assured some kind of Amnesty!

      This movie was actually pretty hilarious. The whole theatre, which was completely packed btw, was in stitches almost the whole time. SO, before you open your stupid, ugly, fat mouth again, MARIO, you might wanna go see some of these movies before you judge anything. I don't listen to fucking critics anyway - all they're looking for are artsy fartsy films. Movies that are shiteous don't earn 60 mil in one weekend.

      I took the time to join the POSSE so I could lament about the absolute "awfulness" of this movie. I mean horrific is too kind a description. The "actors" obviously just took the money and ran…some of the characters were absolutely laughable made worse by the laughable performances…end of rant…but seriously run from this piece of CRAP…



    12. 12

      Fuck this noise. A new A-Team movie is coming out. Chick flicks suck. Seriously.

      u r such an idiot. so obssesed with avatar. time to take a break from ur site



    15. 15

      Whan are you going to start blaming John Mayer for Avatar's "tumble" douchebag?



    16. 16

      I loved the movie. It was a feel good chick flick. Not every movie has to be Oscar worthy. It is kind of like Love Actually. I liked it better though. My whole theater was packed and we were laughing the whole time too, then end even left me in a bit of tears.

      This movie looks like a bad remake of Love Actually or something. Not interested. It may be #1 now but as soon as Valentine's Day is over, it'll drop out of the top 10.



    18. 18

      I only went to go see it cause Taylor Lautner, Bradley Cooper, Topher Grace and, Ashton Kutcher was in it….



    19. 19

      DONT WAIST YOUR MONEY PEOPLE! This movie was shit. SUCKED



    20. 20

      Movies are always #1 the first weekend bc everyone wants to see them, then if it sucks it goes down. My brother saw it with his fiance and they said it sucked. I wasn't planning to see it anyways.



    21. 21

      i want to see it!!!!!!!!!!



    22. 22

      The movie was so bad, I could'nt make it thru the whole mess .Kutcher can't act, and the rest of the cast should be so embarrassed to be in sush a mess of a movie



    23. 23

      I would never go see this…or drag my boyfriend to it just cause its Valentine's Day. Looks like a super cheesey chick flick.



    24. 24

      I saw this movie last night and I absolutley LOVED it! very funny romantic and entertaining… Even tho Julia was only in it for 6 minutes she gave a great performance…. If you didnt dsee the movie yet you should def go see it,, Bradley Cooper is gay with Mc Steamy lol



    25. 25

      Topher Grace will always be Eric Foreman, regardless of the movie he's in. Live with it, asshole. Ashton Kutcher never could act, That 70's Show was as close as he's ever gotten to legitimate acting, and that's not saying much. I would not waste the time, effort, or money, to attend a showing of this film. I'm surprised Julia Roberts soiled herself with this, but, then again, she did play a hooker in her breakout movie, so…..



    26. 26

      I really want to see this movie! Even though they all have short parts, I think it is an all star cast.



    27. 27

      no suprise! I'm sure its a cute movie but I would not go to see it not my thing.

      Just saw it. It's excellent. Much better than Love Actually, actually. The gay characters were not negative stereotypes as we saw in Love Actually.

      Re: itsjustmanda – amanda, why did you give the spoiler?



    30. 30

      i loved the movie



    31. 31

      Most of the reviews say this movie is a stinker. Oh well. Not the first shitty movie to make lots of money.



    32. 32

      Re: Lady_Saccharine_Sweetness – It reminded me a lot of Love Actually, which is why I wanted to see it, too. I thought it was a great movie, definitely go see it!



    33. 33

      It's such a good movie! Everyone should go see it. I love how people think they can judge a movie before even seeing it. You don't know what the hell you're talking about, jackasses. Go see it and then hate all you want.



    34. 34

      This actually wasn't that bad. I was pleasantly surprised!



    35. 35

      Re: chewylewis – I agree i'm sick of people jumping on the bandwagon of 'intellegent films'. Nothing wrong with leaving ya brain at home and enjoying a not so itellegent film. And so what if its corny its Valentines Day. Stop being so uptight people.



    36. 36

      Re: Ammie – Amanda didnt give any spoiler



    37. 37

      It was actually a very good film. It was funny and entertaining!



    38. 38

      I didn't want to see this, but did, it was actually much better than I was expecting.



    39. 39

      theres so many big names in the movie. many people see movies jus bc their favorite actor is in it



    40. 40

      plus bradley is the sexiest guy ever next to joel mchale and johnny damon



    41. 41

      Well duh, the makers of the movie picked exactly the right time to release it. It was a VERY good business move. If it wasn't Valentine's weekend it would have tanked otherwise but since it is everyone and their date is going to see it. DUH I expected even you Perez to grasp that much.



    42. 42

      ugh! if i saw this movie it would just annoy the heck out of me! jessica biels character is so womans lit novel or whatever, a cosmo story, taylor swift is just annoying, julia roberts cackle!!! yeah, this movie would annoy the heck out of me!



    43. 43

      because its called valentine's day. and another reason is maybe because it has every actor in hollywood in it?



    44. 44

      All-star cast always equals a shitty movie. I.E. He's Just Not That Into You



    45. 45

      Re: chewylewis – look i hate mario too, but this was shit. and you're 1% of america who is brain numbed and easily influenced. I hope u take marketing classes in the future. You what hollywood executives call a sheep or pigeon. throw some stuff out you'll flock towards it. that's how they make there money. If you knew good quality art and film you be smarter to release most of those companies who make the artsy films don't do it for the money. They want to do their art.



    46. 46

      Re: Miss Anndriel – just puked in my mouth, america is going in the toilet!



    47. 47

      BEST GAY CONVERSION FILM EVER!!!



    48. 48

      I saw it last night and liked it. It was a bit weak in spots but overall a good movie. It reminded me of Love Actually in some ways although the scenarios are completely different.



    49. 49

      lawd, this movie looks awful. i'm trying to figure out what type of people who would go see this….the taste of the american public is frightening.



    50. 50

      When has anyone ever listened to the Reviews. Every time reviews came out the movies has always been embraced by the public. Reviewers should suck it.



    51. 51

      It was not that bad, I have seen worse :)



    52. 52

      it sucks



    53. 53

      i have seen it everyday since its been out. i like it more and more as i see it… i thought it was good.



    54. 54

      THIS LOOKS LIKE A PILE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!
      AND TAYLOR SWIFT HAS A DIRTY ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    55. 55

      Avatar has been out for a long time though so i don't think it really matters that it's at # 4 it's still making money . I want to see Valentine's day so badly.



    56. 56

      This movie is horrible



    57. 57

      Re: StarCrunch – This movie was such an overwhelming piece of CRAP!!! HOW DID THIS THING GET MADE? AND I SPENT 11 BUCKS TO SEE IT.
      UGH. No storyline, no character development, and NO good acting.



    58. 58

      This movie sucked..The point of the Tay-Tay's? To get younger people to go. Otherwise there would be no reason and Taylor Swift (unlike her turn on SNL) was just god awful. Gary Marshall should just go ahead and retire. Awful



    59. 59

      surprisingly loved it.



    60. 60

      kay ONE, NO ONE IS SUPRISED! that was the ENTIRE point. TWO its not finally. Avatar made more in one day than Valentines made in one weekend. Stop being sucha baby. New movies are just coming out, Avatar isnt *new* anymore PLUS these three new movies will NOT reach the same amout of money, OR BE AS popular as Avatar. So why dont you go shove a stick up your ass or something and give us REAL gossip!

      And an another quick note…John Mayer doesnt like you. Never has, never will. SO GET OVER IT!



    61. 61

      loved it!! it was a great and funny one!



    62. 62
