Delgo Sets New Box Office Record!

Delgo-Poster.jpgThis past weekend, a little animated film got a wide release (2160 theaters) and quietly went about setting a brand new all time box office record! The only problem for Delgo is that the record is for the LOWEST amount of money made on an opening weekend with a release on over 2000 screens.

How much did Delgo make? Well let’s put this into perspective. Punisher: War Zone was considered a cataclysmic bomb when it only managed to make $4.2 million on its opening weekend. Delgo earned… are you ready for this… $0.5 million. Yes, it made roughly the same amount that the new movie “Doubt” made, but Doubt was only showing on 15 screens… not 2160 screens.

What is Delgo? Yahoo puts it like this:

It’s the animated movie voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, Val Kilmer, Kelly Ripa, Burt Reynolds and the late Anne Bancroft. The film follows two star-crossed lovers and an evil queen in a fantastical, reptilian world.

Well, I’ll tell you what Delgo isn’t. A movie getting a sequel.

To put this more into perspective, the math of these numbers equals out to less than 2 people being in the theater for each screening this past weekend. OUCH!
