1. Shrek the Third (4,122 theaters): Yes. it's Shrek and only Shrek. The 2nd Shrek movie was the 3rd highest grossing film of all time. OF. ALL. TIME. I saw Shrek 2 and kind of liked it, but I didn't think it was THAT good. I saw it once in the theaters, bought the previouly viewed DVD, but that's it. I am surprised that it did so well.
But that may be the reason why its sequel is being released without any competition. Heck, Spidey 3 (Spidey 2 10th all time) opened with Lucky You and Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End (Pirates 2 6th all time) is opening with "Bug" next week. Strange.
Anyway, Shrek is back and must find a king to replace his father-in-law. While he's away, Prince Charming is attempting a coup, resisted by Princess Fiona and her All-Princess Crew (Funky Fresh! Bittabittaboo!). Oh, and Shrek is about to have, or just has had, kids of his own.
Over at Rotten Tomatoes, the film has gotten hammered so far, Out of 50 reviews, only 21 have been positive, leading to a Tomatometer score of 42% fresh. Not good.
Not that I think that's going to have much standing on how it does at the box office. My predictions?
- Shrek the Third
- Spider-Man 3
- 28 Days Later
- Disturbia
- Georgia Rules.
Yeah, I think Shrek will still get the top spot. I think Spidey 3 has enough to hold second and Disturbia will flip-flop with Georgia Rulles.
