Mazel tov to Quentin Tarantino and his
Inglourious Basterds for kicking major box office a$$ this weekend. QT’s masterpiece brought in $37.6 million domestically and $65.1 internationally and those are his best numbers to date. How good are those numbers that is over $12 million more than what he made in the US for his last highest first week of $25.1 for Kill Bill Volume 2 back in 2004. And not only is it is his highest opener, but according to the
LA Times it is the highest first week opener for the end of August besting Superbad’s $33.1 in 2007. For all of you who thought this movie that which will go down in movie history books for changing history is just a dick flick, you are way wrong because the audience was made up of 42% females! Not too shabby for QT, Brad Pitt,
Eli Roth, Diane Kruger, BJ Novak,
Omar Doom, Melanie Laurent, Michael Fassbender and Christoph Waltz.
If you haven’t seen this movie, what are you waiting for? It sincerely is the best movie of the year and with those numbers everyone will be talking about it tomorrow and how Eli Roth’s character will go down in the movie history books! So why be left out of the crowd go see it now and enjoy the air conditionered movie theater on this very hot summer day!!!
BTW please continue to support
The Weinstein Company by not only seeing Inglourious Basterds more than once, but also by watching
Project Runway and
Models of the Runway on Lifetime Thursdays starting at 10p and going to see Rob Zombie’s really scary
Halloween 2 that is out on Friday, August 28th! Let’s make next week a 1-2 punch next weekend at the box office for The Weinstein Company with Inglourious Basterds and Halloween 2!!!
