I am going to see the movie today. I will come back with all my comments and accolades.
Peace. Surely they should have been higher then the Johnny Cash movie. They was also below average expectations. They gross 18 million when they were expected to gross between 20-25 million.
Rent's ranking this weekend

Atleast it did better than Phantom!
Actually, it does sound like a respectable amount despite being under projections.
Call me crazy, but I read that article three times.
1. Harry Potter
2. Walk the Line
3. Yours, Mine and Ours
5. Rent
Where's number four?
Ah, probably.
Yeah I don't see #4 either but then they skip to #9 for that In The mix with Usher. I wonder what's #4

I bet next weekend Rent will hold pretty strong. There are a lot of more "casual" Rent fans who have seen the show once and are interested in the movie that just didn't rush to see it the first weekend, and are planning it more around their schedule.
www.imdb.com
has the full top 10.
...well I am sure we will be provided with a formal list soon.

Sadly, no, Rent dropped off almost every day from it's opening day, that means people did rush out to see it and that word of mouth is not good. Look for it to gross about 5.5 next weekend and start to shed theatres. It will probably come in with a final gross around $38-$42 million. Nowhere near the $90 or so it would need to be profitable in its domestic run.
Honestly, it deserves less. It is a terrible, cheesy and campy recreation of something that was once a truly beautiful work of art.
Haha, and Britney Spears' Crossroads had better numbers than that opening weekend. Ouch.
Well, at least Rent stole a scene from that film!
^^Well I will go see it today...I been hearing a couple of reasons why that might be the case but I refuse to repeat them until I see the movie.

Well, I guess this just means I'll have to see it again!
^^^that will do...big smiles...
*blink* Are you pulling my leg? I remember Crossroads doing pretty awful in the box office, or at least I used it as justification to make smug comments to some obsessive Britney fan I disliked. ARGH.
I really don't think the movie is that bad.
Crossroad did okay opening weekend but the movie wasn't too good. Britney did pretty well however.
No, I'm not pulling your leg, Marlene. Sad, isn't it?

That is sad.
Don't forget the point Anthony made on the other box office thread, next week teens actually will have more of a say on what movies they see... and I think that will really boost ticket sales alone.
