Movie News: 'Inglourious Basterds'

Movie Gods Smiled on Quentin Tarantino's



The execs at Weinstein Co must be breathing a huge sigh of relief after Friday’s box office numbers came in and suggesting the gamble on Tarantion’s “Inglourious Basterds” paid off.

The WWII Drama took in an estimated $14.3 million, putting it on track to win the weekend box office take which could amount to about $36 million in all.

Shorts, a Robert Rodriguez’s kids film, didn’t fare too well only earning Warner Bros. an estimated $2 million, and giving it the sixth slot.

District 9 suffered severely at the hands of “inglourious Basterds” with $5.5 million in sales which was down 61% from opening day.

The Time Traveler’s Wife came in fourth at the box office with $3.3 million.

And in firth place comes Julie & Julia with $2.6 million.

It will be interesting to see how the entire weekend ends up. Look for an update.
