Grindhouse Loses the Box Office Race

Apr 9 2007 - 12:00am

Mediocrity topped curiosity at the box-office this weekend, with two tepidly reviewed holdovers — Blades of Glory and Disney's Meet the Robinsons — landing in the No. 1 and 2 spots [1] with $23 million and $17 million in ticket sales, respectively. Both movies beat out Grindhouse, [1] the groundbreaking double feature directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, which earned just $11 million.

Grindhouse getting trumped by Blades of Glory [1] doesn't surprise me; after all, it's easier for hordes of movie-going teens to flock to a PG-13 flick than two hard-core R movie. What's tragic is that Grindhouse didn't even manage to win the race against the new Ice Cube movie, Are We Done Yet? [2], which sounds fairly dreadful [3]. What movies did you guys see this weekend?
