That Sinking Feeling

The results of this past weekend's box office derby were not all that surprising, given what industry analysts were predicting on Friday.

Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo says:

On the shallow end of disaster pictures, Poseidon claimed an estimated $20.3 million, landing [in 2nd place] below Mission Impossible III's second weekend [take of 24.5 Million]..

Here's the full report...

Gosh, I know the word on Poseidon wasn't all that great to begin with, but the film must be really bad if MI:3 was able to retain its top status. This, despite a whopping 49% decline in ticket sales over last weekend. I would guess the folks at Paramount Pictures can finally permit themselves a bit of a smile at the news of MI:3's small victory.
