Information taken from Brandon Gray's
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/
1 Shrek the Third $121,629,270 4,122 $29,507 $122,536,609
15 8 Meet the Robinsons $503,975 -72.0% 941 -699 $535 $95,303,844
29 27 TMNT $148,070 -22.7% 310 -94 $477 $53,717,378
58 52 Miss Potter $32,110 -28.8% 51 -11 $629 $2,792,238
63 64 Romeo & Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss $18,996 -7.6% 12 -2 $1,583 $436,926
85 71 Aqua Teen Hunger Force COLON Movie Film for Theaters $6,156 -46.2% 18 -18 $342 $5,485,893
The "Shrek" franchise showed that it still held a lot of enthusiasm with
the U.S. moviegoing public by becoming the second movie this year to have a
$100M+ opening weekend. In fact, "Shrek the Third" surpassed the opening
weekend of "Shrek 2". Movie reviews at rottentomatoes.com, though, were
especially dismissive. "Shrek the Third" scored only 42%, comparable to
"Chicken Little", and lower than "Aqua Teen Hunger Force".
This weekend "Paprika" opens, but only in New York, I think. I have no
idea what the distribution plan is for this movie. :-(

Cinemascore for opening day was "B+", similar to Spiderman 3. I
believe Shrek 1 got an "A". Various interpretations suggest that "A"
means repeat business and good word-of-mouth is likely, but "B+"
suggests that it's unlikely.
I'm a little tired of these "best animated opening ever" statements.
What does it mean when the #3, #5, and #8 spots on an all-time Top 10
list are animated? It means animated films can open big and earn mad
money, too. Look at Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., Incredibles, Lion
King, and the Shrek films. Animated films are tentpoles, obviously.

Ugh. At least the Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes reviews are
positive:
94% from 17 RT critics.
90/100 score from 10 Metacritics.
To show how much the two systems suck, my grade would be:
FRESH on RT
75 on Metacritic's scale, since I don't give 100s :-)
Terrence Briggs, jokingly assuming that Armond White was just tweaking
David Denby for his positive Paprika review.
Peace to you... |

And also measures the publicity, or how much the last franchise entry
marketed itself, by the obvious point that nobody going into that "best
opening over" has technically even SEEN the movie yet!!
Nowadays, we measure by who *doesn't* have the Biggest Second-Week
Dropoff ever...
