Can Bee Movie Turn Box Office Failure Around?

This weekend was extremely disappointing at the box office. 30 Days of Night (Sony) didn’t have the weekend it had hoped for, Gone Baby Gone had a mediocre weekend and there were a whole load of bombs. The movies which bombed at the box office were The Comebacks (Fox), Rendition (New Line), Things We Lost in the Fire (Dreamworks/Paramount), Sarah Landon & the Paranormal Hour (Freestyle Releasing) and The Ten Commandments (Rocky Mountain Pictures). Hollywood hopes that November will bring a box office boom.

The estimated combined weekend gross this weekend was only $78.44 million. It’s the fourth weakest October 3-day since October 1999. The first 3 weekends in October of 2007 are down 20% from last year.

But Hollywood shouldn’t fear as Box office prospects for November are looking up as the release of Bee Movie (DreamWorks/Paramount) will be rolled out coast-to-coast.

Why do you think October was such a box office failure?
