“Repo Men,” “Runaways” Bomb at Box Office, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” Solid

“Repo Men” did not possess a large chunk of the box office Friday, landing distantly behind some new releases and holdovers.

The poorly-reviewed film grossed a mere $2.2 million at the box office, grabbing only enough coin for fourth place.

Holdover “Alice in Wonderland” led all films with $9.8 million in its third Friday, holding off new release “The Bounty Hunter” ($7.6 million). Though the latter was panned even harder than “Repo Men,” it would have been inconceivable for a Gerard Butler-Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy not to debut to decent numbers.

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid” landed close behind “Hunter,” posting $7.4 million for third. “She’s Out of My League” was in fifth with $1.9 million for its sophomore Friday.

On the limited front, “The Runaways” grossed $300,000 on 244 screens. The $1230 per-screen average is rather disappointing for a buzzworthy limited-release flick.

  1. Anuston and Butler do NOT deserve the 2nd spot on the Box office gross. That movie is HORRIBLE!…I don’t know what’s worse their creepy brother-sister chemistry, or their acting!

  2. Gerrard Butler is cute! wish he was paired with someone other than Jennifer. She should do Courtney Cox show and leave movies to the Big Dogs!

  3. WE LOVE YOOOOU ANGELINA!!! (I just had to say that)….can’t wait for SALT and the TOURIST with Johnny Depp! Now THAT film will show Gerard butler and Jen aniston what ‘chemistry’ actually is!

  4. Where are the other actors from the show FRIENDS? Why aren’t THEY given a chance at movies? …or is it that they had to be married to Brad Pitt in order to be worthy of Hollywoods attention? Not fair. We are sick of RACHEL GREEN in every rom com movie. Give us PHOEBE!!!!

  5. The Bounty Hunter is amazing.

    Most critics are just miserable b@$tards anyway
    Jen is gourgous and looks so much better than m!ngelina

    Team Aniston
