GRINDHOUSE Weekend Tally is Horrific

9 April 2007

“Grindhouse’s” Friday night was disappointing, but there was a chance it could make up for it with a better Saturday and Sunday. But perhaps that was too optimistic. The weekend tally is in, and in 3 days, “Grindhouse” has scored a terrible $11.6 million, nearly $9 million below its expected box office take. The film, budgeted at $53 million, should have done better with the young crowd on a less-than-busy weekend. You have Tarantino, you have Rodriguez — and the results are … $11 million??? Forget about recouping the budget at the domestic box office. The producers will now have to hope for a better overseas box office and strong DVD sales, which should be within reach.


“So how was our box office, guys. Guys?”
