There are six movies opening today, and all look a bit crappy (oops, "quality-impaired") in one way or another. April is sort of the dumping ground for movies; though a few solid ones wash up (I keep hearing good things about "The Hoax"), mostly it's for films that are only going to play for 3 or 4 weeks until May's blockbusters chase them out of the multiplex.
DISTURBIA (2925 theaters). Basically "Rear Window" for the teen set, though that comparison doesn't seem to be favoring this at all. It's getting okay reviews, and the ads do a good job selling it, so this could challenge "Blades of Glory" for the top slot. $15.0 million.
PERFECT STRANGER (2661 theaters). This is not getting very good reviews at all, the ads are sort of vague, and both Bruce Willis and Halle Berry have a history of people not showing up to see them in subpar movies. Still, people will see it opening weekend, and then it'll drop 60% in weekend #2. $11.6 million.
PATHFINDER: LEGEND OF THE GHOST WARRIOR (1720 theaters). It's trying to cash in on the whole 300 violent historical epic thing, but it doesn't look a sliver as interesting, and reviews have been dire. $5.6 million.
REDLINE (1607 theaters). This looks like the C-level version of all the other car movies. $6.2 million.
SLOW BURN (1163 theaters). I have no idea what this is, other than Ray Liotta is in it and it wasn't screened for critics. I have no idea why people might choose this. $2.0 million.
AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE (877 theaters). Doomed. $1.4 million.
