Hey look, Superhero Movie bombed! Obviously there were more Star Wars fans out there protesting “Darth Weinstein” and the cuts to Fanboys than we originally thought. Or it could just be that no one wanted to see Superhero Movie because it looked dated and unfunny, which is probably the most likely scenario, since reports indicate that no more than 20 people showed up for any of the so-called protests in New York or L.A.! However, 21 apparently did something right, bringing in $23 million to top the weekend box office charts, with Horton Hears a Who! pulling up in second and becoming the first movie in 2008 to crack $100 million. Superhero Movie earned $9.5 mil, with Meet The Browns and Drillbit Taylor rounding out the top 5. Interesting to note: Stop-Loss bombed even harder than Superhero Movie, bringing in just $4.53M.

1. 21 — $23.7M
2. Horton Hears a Who! — $17.4M
3. Superhero Movie — $9.51M
4. Meet the Browns — $7.76M
5. Drillbit Taylor — $5.8M
6. Shutter — $5.33M
7. 10,000 B.C. — $4.88M
8. Stop-Loss — $4.53M
9. College Road Trip — $3.5M
10. The Bank Job — $2.8M



  • So no one wanted to see another dreary Iraq war movie? I’m shocked.

  • You should write an editorial about how the western civilization will endure for thousands of years, because Superhero Movie didn’t open at number 1.

    To be fair, Stop-Loss didn’t bomb as hard as Superhero Movie.

    Stop-Loss made 4,5M from 1300 theaters.
    Superhero Movie made 9,5M from 3000 theaters.

  • This is true.

    Just another weekend where target demographics are being exploited ;)Superhero movie not making the usual 20+mil for a parody movie is surprising. I watched Doomsday for a second time and still had a blast.

  • look at that list. Holy shit do movies suck now.

  • Bob: Agreed.

    I guess it’s worth mentioning that Run Fatboy Run actually bombed hardest of all… only $2.3 million earned in 1,133 theatres. I guess Simon Pegg isn’t such a big star here after all.
