And apparently, everybody stayed home
Published August 25, 2003
Wow. Do you know how many landmarks were broken this past weekend? You probably don't know, because as it seems, you were doing something else.
1) Freddy vs. Jason - is the first horror movie to stay at number 1 for more than a week in — I can't even remember. Probably Blair Witch in 99.
2) GET THIS - Gigli is no longer the biggest flop of the year. Lisa Kudrow and Damon Wayans movie, Marci X opened in 1200 theatres and made.. imagine this.. an untruthful 865,000 bucks! - Ouch. - Stingy, Stingy, Stingy in my Thingy, Thingy, Thingy.
3) All the top three films kept their spot. That doesn't happen much.
4) The highest opening was only the number 5 spot — The Medallion.

Hey I didn't stay home. I contributed to Freddy vs. Jason staying at number 1. I also caught the incredibly disappointing Le Divorce. Oh and I still think Gigli is the biggest flop of the year. You have to consider the star power of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck vs. Lisa Kudrow and Damon Wayans.

There can only be one make-you-understand-the-Black-state-of-mind-in-order-to-appreciate-me-as-a-person movie per year, and I heard Bringing Down the House did well.
