I feel quite a bit of satisfaction and disappointment from this weekend's box-office results. To start off, I was right, and Shrek Forever After hit far below the predictions of most people, bringing in only $71 million. It even hit below my prediction, which I'm quite happy about. It's good to know the film won't likely hit $300 million. However the success is a little bittersweet, because MacGruber also hit below expectations, bringing in a meager $4 million.
That's certainly not befitting of such a good film, but I doubt the film could've managed a sequel. Iron Man 2 continued it's downward descent, hauling in $27 million and bringing its total to $251 million. The film may indeed make it to $300 million by the end of it's run. Robin Hood fell as much as expected with $19 million, adding up to $66 million right now. It may not see the light of $100 million. Next weekend marks the release of Prince of Persia, and Sex and the City 2.
