Analysis (Hungover-groomsman-in-wedding-edition)
–The Purge is an instant Sleeper Hit as it only rang up a $3 million production bill.
–The Internship was raised to life for $58 million yet won’t be seeing dividends on the domestic front nor the overseas market after the shaky opening entry. Plus, the lovely critics and audiences aren’t too enamored with the product. Hello, Flop Alert.
–Iron Man 3 currently holds the longest streak in the top ten with 6 weeks. Domestically, it has risen to $394.3 million.
This week, Wednesday brings in This Is the End and Friday is all about Man of Steel. Reviews will be right here my fellow Shockers!
