What happens over the next four weeks may determine whether theaters end up in the black for the summer — or in the toilet.

Well, chaos reigned supreme at the box office this weekend. Or you might say, KAOS reigned supreme, because Steve Carell’s new movie Get Smart did well while everyone else seemed to tank at the box office.

Ironically, the opening for this Incredible Hulk was a bit lower than the $62 million the previous Hulk brought in during its open– a sure sign that people were scared off by bad buzz and the stench left over from the previous Ang Lee effort. Not exactly Hulk-a-mania at the theaters.

Kung Fu Panda won the box office this week with a take of $60 million dollars! Meanwhile, the Adam Sandler flick You Don’t Mess With the Zohan took in $40 million.

The headline of the hour is that The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was the Number One movie at the box office with a take of $56 million dollars. That’s the good news.

t’s only been two weeks, but the first major train wreck of the summer movie season is in the books. Or maybe I ought to say “car wreck”, because Speed Racer crashed in spectacular fashion and was killed at the box office.

It is shaping up to be quite a race this weekend, one of the most dramatic box-office showdowns of the year in fact. Will it be the challenger, Speed Racer, or the defending champion Iron Man that takes the checkered flag this week at the box office?

The Wachowski Brothers picked a dangerous time to unleash their latest movie onto the world. With Iron Man making just over $349 Trillion at the box office this weekend, it’s set to take the top spot again.

Well, it was Sarah Marshall who got dumped this weekend at the box office. Or better yet, it was Judd Apatow who got dumped — not by Sarah Marshall, but by the moviegoing public, AGAIN.

It appears things are definitely looking up as far as theater business goes in the next few weeks. We have the Judd Apatow production Forgetting Sarah Marshall, we have the Al Pacino thriller 88 Minutes, and the action flick The Forbidden Kingdom.

Welcome to another truly ominous Reject Report. Ominous because, well, it’s looking scary at the box office this weekend. Not only do we have the horror movie Prom Night set to open along with the shoot-em-up Street Kings, but it looks like it will be another down week at the theaters.

This week, you can say the Reject Report is in Ruins. We have a movie called The Ruins, and we have a film about the National Football League called Leatherheads set in an era when it looked like the whole league was going to end up in ruins, and on and on.

Well, it seems Americans may have some taste in movies after all. Superhero Movie, well, was not so super after all. The winning movie this weekend was the gambling pic 21, beating out Horton Hears a Who! and Superhero Movie.

As fanboys across the country mobilize for a protest against the Weinstein Company and their release Superhero Movie, everyone else will be out there trying to pick something to see this weekend. Will the protests stop the big parody from taking the top spot? We have our doubts.

The Wachowski Brothers’ upcoming film Speed Racer may look cool, and it may be grabbing the attention of big kids like us, but its box office success will hinge on how many families head to the theater to see it in late-May.

Hoo boy, are we clearly at a low point of the movie year for 2008 right now.

While Doomsday struggles to get moving, Horton plops his big elephant behind down on top of the box office.

Horton Hears a Who opens with a huge theatrical run to support its big, star-studded cast.

To quote Howard Beale, moviegoers are mad as hell and they aren’t going to take it anymore.

This week brings us a wide range of releases and a wide range of predictions…

No wonder New Line is going out of business, then, based on a showing like this from one of its highly-touted movies.

A defunct basketball team, a girl with a pig nose and two skanky 17th century sisters vie for box office glory this weekend.

For what seems like the umpteenth week in a row, the Box Office Oscar goes to a movie that got pelted by tomatoes by movie critics.

It’s a special Oscar week edition of The Reject Report!

We now have the final estimates in for the entire President’s Day Weekend, and as we reported earlier Jumper is the number one.

The Monday numbers have yet to come in — but we do know who the box-office champ is going to be.

The writers strike is over, finally, and we have a number of new flicks rolling out on Thursday and getting an early jump on the weekend.

Paris Hilton’s star vehicle ‘The Hottie and the Nottie’ took in a whopping $25,000 over the weekend. Were we surprised? Nah.

Miley Cyrus beats out Jessica Alba, Carmen Electra and Eva Longoria Parker at the box office.

This week’s movies look absolutely frightening — frightening to watch and frightening to predict.
