Stone Cold Steve Austin's movie The Condemned finished in 8th place at the box office last night as it made a mere $1.3 million in 2,310 theaters on its opening night. At this point, the movie is projected to take in $3.5 million during its opening weekend, which is far below anyone's expectations. This would have to be considered a bomb. Several people were predicting the movie to rake in between $7 and $10 million on its opening weekend.

For comparison purposes, See No Evil pulled in an estimated $4.35 million in box office sales on its opening weekend. The film was sixth in the weekend box office totals and ended up making $15,387,513 worldwide when it was all said and done. The Marine earned $7 million in its first week of domestic sales, coming in third place for the weekend. It ended up making $20,226,432 worldwide. And last but not least, WCW's movie Ready To Rumble drew $5,257,778 in its opening weekend in April 2000.

The Condemned cost $20 million to make. Also, The Marine was budgeted to cost $15 million to make, but it ended up costing between $22 and $23 million to make. See No Evil cost roughly $8 million to make.

They really should have made the movie 8 years ago at the height on Stone Cold's popularity.

I had no fucking ambition to see this movie. From the previews/concept, it looked like a bad ripoff of that Japanese movie "Battle Royal"

Yeah it was, it had a WAY cooler concept too. Seeing school children fight it out was kinda cool, taking prisoners and putting them on an island to fight to the death is kinda unimaginative IMO.

If anyone is interested, I posted cam-rips (x3) in the multi-media section. I have only checked it out to make sure that it plays and that it is legit. I have not actually watched it yet, so I do not know how it is.
