July 3rd, 2001
His love is real. His box office is not.
While it did open to some strong reviews and audience
disappointment, Spielberg's latest in nearly three years,
A.I. Artifical Intelligence opened to some pretty
disappointing numbers. I expected more, personally,
considering the hype and ad campaign. It made 29.3 million,
which is quite good, but compared to other openings this
year it's still disappointing. Keep in mind word of mouth
may help it survive... "Saving Private Ryan" opened with a
little more and made well over 200 million three years ago.
On another note, I saw the film and I did enjoy it, though
the ending felt a bit out of place. Oh well.
The Fast And The Furious dropped to second and
made 20 million while Dr. Dolittle 2 made 15.8.
Tomb Raider made 10.2 over the weekend while John
Singleton's latest, Baby Boy earned a nice 8.6
million.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire dropped to sixth with
8.2 million, Shrek held at seventh with 7.7 (kinda
ironic) million and Pearl Harbor continued to bomb
down with 4.7. crazy/beautiful tied with "Pearl
Harbor" and also made 4.7. Teen films are dying all right,
considering this one opened to strong reviews. And last but
not least, Swordfish made 4.3 million.
Will "Scary Movie 2" top next weekend? What about "Cats
& Dogs"? And how well will "A.I." do? Stay tuned...
