Coming Soon Archives Showtimes and Tickets
Yet both actors have had some troubled times at the movies lately. Deniro has already flopped this year with City by the Sea and Showtime, and Billy Crystal who is also no stranger to sequel flops with his City Slickers 2. As a matter of fact there is a similarity here, both the sequel to City Slickers and Analyze This were released three years after the original and both have opened to $11 million. WEIRD! I guess that means that Analyze That will only make around $40 million like City Slickers 2 did. I just have one question, why would you make a sequel to a movie that only made $106 million, anyway? You already know that most sequels make less than the original.
as he had expected for his dud of a sequel.
So the week went as this. Die Another Day, the most profitable Bond flick to date, regained the throne with another $12.8 million totaling the movie at $120.2 million. In second was Analyze That, soon to be a flop that movie industries will not learn from, with $11 million opening. Third was Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets with $10 million. It is about $20 million shy of what the original's total was this time last year, the movie now totals $213.9 million which says that it is not likely that Potter will hit the $300 million mark this year and will fall short of the highest grossing movie of the year, both of which the original Potter holds the crown for last year. Fourth was Empire with a surprising gain considering it only played in 867 theaters across the country. It opened with $6.2 million this week. Rounding out the top five was Treasure Planet with a very disappointing $5.5 million second week, totaling $23.6 for Disney.
