"Wall Street 2" Tops Mediocre Weekend with $19 MillionPosted: September 26th, 2010 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  Oliver Stone's "Wall Street" sequel topped the domestic box office with $19 million, which is in the middle of pre-release expectations. Developed for around $70 million, the film will likely make its money back, despite very mediocre reviews.
"We're extremely happy with the result," said a 20th Century Fox spokesman. "What struck me in our exit surveys was the very high percentage of people who said the film was better than they expected it to be."
"Wall Street 2" also became Stone's biggest opening, beating $18.7 million that "World Trade Center" took in during its first weekend back in 2006.
Zack Snyder's animated "Legend of the Guardians" had an even more disappointing weekend, grossing only $16.3 million in second place. The $79 million 3D movie will likely struggle to reach profitability. "I would have liked to open a little closer to $20 million," said Warner Bros. "The fact that there will be a lack of family product coming in the next several weeks gives me hope."
The weekend's third wide opener, Disney's "You Again," took in $8.3 million, which was good enough for fifth place behind "The Town" and "Easy A."

Zack Snyder's animated "Legend of the Guardians" should have been done in 300 style to make more money.

Like myself... most people didn't think the first movie needed this sequel.
The first movie can't be topped!

So a mediocre movie that hit the middle of its box office expectations, and it's STILL the best opening he's had? That's pretty sad.

This is the cinematic equivalent of not running directly into the hurdles while doing the 50 yard dash at the Special Olympics.

Wow, Mike better not die.
If this is his last movie, it'll be the equivalent of those James Whitmore lawn commercials ... you'd know he did it STRICTLY for the money.

In the voice of Mr. Haney ? And if so, is he trying to shill bird seeds to his junkie, owl buddies ?

C'mon. Owls with spray tan abs ? The eagles and hawks would be so jealous.

It's Oliver Stone. We're lucky he's not wearing nothing more than Depends 24/7 and screaming at waypassing tourists from a compound up the road from a truck stop, claiming Vietnam is going to invade the West coast.

Wasn't interested in seeing any of the movies opening this weekend.
I might check out WS2 when it hits the web.

It's the sexual equivalent of
" Well, she wears both plastic bags on her head really well. Especially when I affix them to her neck with duct tape. Yeah, well she gags for air, but really, it helps also when I stuff her mouth jam full of cottonballs all the way back to the back, so I don't have to hear her bitch about my technique, while I'm roughly doggystyling her, with her colon blood and clogged up feces lubricating my c*ck like poor-Richard's KY jelly. "

The mauling of Roy by the white tiger, looped to the sounds of Wilhelm screams and power tools would have been a better two and a half hours.
