Opening Halloween at the beginning of September wasn't such a bad move after all. Halloween Makes Unseasonal Debut, and Breaks Labor Day Record

#BALLS OF FURY MOVIE#
With records broken for total box office, number of $300 million movies, number of $200 million movies, and more, this is a summer most movie executives will deeply miss. Over 4 days, the box office total was $149 million, up 15% from last year. Overall the box office earning $118 million over the 3-day weekend, which was up 8% from last weekend and 16% from the same weekend last year. The summer ended on a strong note, including a record-breaking opening by Halloween. On the other hand, it was up $10 million from the same weekend last year, which is a great sign for 2007's chances at breaking more records. Let's hope that's true this year as the overall box office was down to just $80 million, which was a drop-off of 32% from last weekend. The weekend after Labor Day is often the worst weekend of the year. The light extras are disappointing, but that transfer is immaculate. The second DVD Pick of the Week goes to The Simpsons Movie - Blu-Ray. (Given the choice between those last two, pick 5-Disc Collector's Edition - Blu-Ray.)įor those who are huge fans of Blade Runner, and I mean stupid level fans of the movie, grab 5-Disc Ultimate Edition - DVD, 5-Disc Ultimate Edition - Blu-Ray, or 5-Disc Ultimate Edition - HD-DVD.īut good luck, I pre-ordered mine months ago and there are reports they are sold out in many places. In fact, one of the two DVD Picks of the Week are for that movie.įor those who are big fans of Blade Runner, grab the Four-Disc Collector's Edition - DVD, or 5-Disc Collector's Edition - Blu-Ray or 5-Disc Collector's Edition - HD-DVD if you can. Sure, there appear to be plenty to choose from, but it feels like half the top 20 are Blade Runner releases. And there are some that might not, but we are getting into desperation time. Anything that pops into my head that I think would make a good gift. Granted, a lot of it is people buying food for the next day, but at least a few people are looking for last minute gifts.
