It’s quite an accomplishment when one movie sweeps an entire awards ceremony, but it’s happened.

Congratulations to Adam Sandler and his film Jack & Jill!

Back in February the Razzie nominations were announced, and while it was impressive Jack & Jill and it’s star, Adam Sandler appeared in every category, but who could have guessed it would win them all!  Even the Razzie committee said this was a first in the 32 year history of the awards.  What an honor.

Here’s a reminder of all the nominations, and I’ve bolded the “winners” in case you’re confused.

The first part of the final Twilight film easily won the box office this weekend, surprising no one.

Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 raked in $139.5 million this weekend, falling short of the second film’s (New Moon) $142.7 million, but still an impressive hall none the less.  There really isn’t much else to say except … one more film to go and then we can forget this garbage series.  (yeah, I said it)

Coming in second was the animated Happy Feet Two with a somewhat disappointing $22 million compared to the original’s $41.5 million opening weekend.

Immortals fell a worrisome 62.5% from its opening weekend, bringing in only $12.25 million. This brings its 10 day domestic total to $53 million off of a $98 million budget.

Landing in fourth was Jack & Jill with a 52% drop to $12 million, and shows a definite weakening in the former gold standard of Adam Sandler films. Perhaps the audience has finally realized what Sandler himself has said that he just plays the same character over and over?

Puss in Boots rounded out the top five with $10.7 million, bringing its total to a pretty disappointing $122 million.

This week’s big releases include Arthur Christmas, The Muppets and Hugo, so it’s all family driven productions as we head into the Thanksgiving weekend.

On a side note, I will be in England next week on vacation, but I do still plan to bring you the weekly box office report because, well, it fascinated me week after week.

It seems if you put men in armor and make a movie all shiny, people will rush out to see it.

The same folks who produced 300 came back with another period film, Immortals, and it did okay, but not exactly the best.  After a $15 million Friday, the domestic gross came in at $32 million for the entire weekend which means it fell off sharply.  It pulled in $36 million internationally this weekend as well which was healthy, but off of a $75 million budget this film has a ways to go.  Comparatively it pulled in less than half of 300‘s $70.9 opening weekend and even Clash of the Titans‘ $61.2 million.

Jack & Jill had the second lowest opening of any Adam Sandler comedy with $26 million.  With no clue on the budget yet we’ll have to see how this performs, but it would seem the luster is finally wearing off of Sandler.

After last week’s surprising second week strength of Puss in Boots there was some speculation that the third weekend would see a huge fall.  Surprisingly it only fell 22.9% and brought in $25.5 million, and could see it land in second place when the final numbers come out.

The  Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy comedy Tower Heist fell 45.1% to $13.2 million to land it in fourth place.  That’s an average performance in a second weekend for a comedy, but on a $75 million budget and only $43.9 million domestic thus far, things aren’t looking good for this movie to hit profitability while still in the theaters.

Rounding out the top five was the smaller release, J. Edgar.  It pulled in $11.4 million from a somewhat limited release with 1,910 screens.  (in comparison, Immortals had 3,112.)

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas fell 54.5% to land in sixth with $5.9 million, and in eighth was Paranormal Activity 3 which brought in $3.6 million, finally breaking the $100 million dollar mark off of a $5 million budget.

Next week will see Happy Feet Two and … unfortunately … Twilight: Breaking Dawn part 1.  Get ready for a stupid amount of money to come in.
