She's The Man Box Office

**open32** · 03-20-2006, 12:43 AM

The movie took 11.1 Million dollars this weekend at the Box Office. That sounds kind of low and Im sure everyone in this forum would have like to see it hit 20 million but I guess that was unrealistic. The good news is that all the analysis from the major box office analysis sites like Mojo and Prophets that analyze it from a business point of view said this was as good or better then expected, they went as far as to say that "the executives should have a smile on there faces". The initial estamated budget for this movie is 19 million. This is also a light comedy which tends to have long self lives. This movie also opened a better first week then "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Clueless"

Go see this movie, it is very good, even if you not a very big fan of Amanda.

Quote:

She's the Man, the second of only two openers this weekend, finishes in fourth spot, but with a respectable total. She's the Man grossed $11 million from 2,623 venues this weekend, good for an average of $4,198. Usually, I feel embarrassed for the filmmakers of these types of films; however, this one seems a little better than the usual. She's the Man actually got some decent reviews, with 35 reviewers out of 70 finding something to like. From DreamWorks and Lakeshore Entertainment, this one was most likely made for a song, and after an opening weekend above $10 million, should put a smile on some executive faces as well.

Analysis also says

Quote:

Holding She's the Man back may have been marketing that spent too much time detailing the tangled relationships of the plot at the expense of the broadly-appealing gender-bending comedy

I completely agree on this, the movie was not like the trailers made it out to be, I expected something different. I have to see I was please more with the movies then expected, I expected just going to see it becouse Amanda was in it, it turned out to be a good movie that I thought was on par with "Clueless", "10 Things", and "Never Been Kissed".

And I got myself a 4th star!

I was hoping it would do better, but deep in my heart I knew that the gross was not gonna be that high. But if it grosses this amount of money for a couple of weeks then I'm happy.

I was hoping we might be #2. The buzz on the movie has been so much better than the others that came out. Being number 4 is still something to be proud of! It's not many actress' in Hollywood that gets to star in their own feature film

The important thing is that everyone came out to support her. If everyone in America loved Amanda as much as we do, STM would've opened with 100 million! We can all be proud to know that we are fans of the funniest woman alive! STM rocks!!

Whoa that's kind of low and the movie ranked 4th. I thought it would of done better. Nice try Amanda I still love you.

Maybe if all of us Amanda fans get out to the theaters and see it this week, we can drive the box office up! And see it more than once. And then when the DVD comes out we will all buy a copy.

That's for sure! I plan on seeing it again later this week, or hopefully the following week if it comes to the drive-in. I wish i could think of a 'favorite scene', but i can't, cause there's just too many..i do like the carnival scene, she looks so fierce when she raises that hand [img]graemlins/wacked.gif[/img]

Its not as bad as it looks. With a 19 million dollar budget it will make that back by the end of next weekend. Its also schedualed to go World Wide in the threaters, something What A Girl Wants didnt do.

11 Million for a teen comedy isnt really bad, its normal.

edawg99 · 03-20-2006, 09:56 PM

That's true. What do you expect from a teen comedy. STM really doesn't appeal to other audiences other than the teen audience and hardcore Amanda fans like us.

Timothywalker · 03-22-2006, 10:30 AM

I love the way you all put such a positive spin on everything! Amanda would be so proud of how loyal and smart her fans are...please!

edawg99 · 03-22-2006, 06:31 PM

Well I really like her and I want to support her in anyway I can. [img]smile.gif[/img]
