Update: Top Ten Summer Movies at the Box Office
By Norm Schrager at July 14, 2007 | 7:22 am | Print
After our Tuesday summer box office report, we received requests for the Top 10. No problem.
We’ll have to update later to accommodate what should be a massive opening weekend for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. As we mentioned, Variety reported a $44 million gross for Wednesday alone.
Top Ten Summer Movies
1. Spider-Man 3: $334 million
2. Shrek the Third: $317 million
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End: $303 million
4. Transformers: $186 million
5. Knocked Up: $134 million
6. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: $125 million
7. Ratatouille: $124 million
8. Ocean’s Thirteen: $110 million
9. Live Free or Die Hard: $92 million
10. Evan Almighty: $82 million
For the calendar year to this point: #1 through #3 is what you see above for the summer: Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third and Pirates: At World’s End. #4 is 300, but that will soon get overtaken by #5 Transformers.
#6 is Wild Hogs. #7 through #9 is Knocked Up, Silver Surfer and Ratatouille. #10 — and never deny the box office power of Will Ferrell — is currently Blades of Glory.
