Michael Phelps isn’t only kicking asses in the pool.
It looks like Golden Boy is rocking the movie business too!
According to new reports, Phelps’ quest for his record-tying 7th gold medal on Friday probably kept people home, glued to their TVs and NOT in the movie theater!
Early estimates show that biz was pretty shitty at the movies on Friday.
The expected #1 movie of the weekend, Tropic Thunder, only pulled in $8.25 million. The movie is expected to make less money this weekend than Pineapple Express did last weekend, and Tropic Thunder has some HUGE superstars in it!
Coming in second on Friday was the animated Clone Wars, which made $6.65 million.
Olympics are definitely edging out other TV and movies for us these days.
We can’t wait to see if Phelps will win an 8th gold medal!
