High School Musical 3: Outside Reading Blog #9
This weekend I read an article called "High School Musical 3" Tops Box Office. It was written by Dean Goodman. This article talks about this past weekend's box office polls. Since both High School Musical 3 and Saw V came out on Friday, it was a real competition for which movie would come out on top. Even though the Saw movies have created the biggest horror movie franchise, High School Musical 3 came out on top with $42 million worth of ticket sales for it's first opening weekend. Saw V, which came in second, ranked in $30.5 million worth of ticket sales. Other premiers didn't do so well, Time Warner Inc's Warner Bros' came out with Pride and Glory which ranked in only $6.3 million. Unfortunetly, this is the second disapointment for Time Warner Inc's Warner Bros, two weekends ago, Body of Lies was also unsuccessful. However, the author expects that we will see additional sequels for both High School Musical movies and Saw movies. The High School Musical 3 premier also opened in international theaters, like in Britain, where it ranked in $13 million.

Hey Emily,
So I have never seen any of the High School Musical movies. Have you? If so, what do you think about them? They seem to be doing quite well for themselves. What do you think is the allure to these movies? What types of people do you think generally go see these movies? I think it's funny how the opening week for a movie is considered to be such a big indicator for how well a movie is going to do in the long run. However, a lot of movies that did poorly in the box office have gone on to be hits in the future. What are some of your favorite movies?
Take care,
Jeff
