Big Momma's House 2 Demolishes the Competition

I looked up the box office stats for last weekend vs. the Oscar nominees. Here are some statistics.

Last weekend (Based on the top 50 on Rotten Tomatoes):
---------------------------------------------------------

Big Momma's House 2: 27.7 Million

All "Big 8" (Writing, Acting, Director, Picture) Category Nominees Combined: 17.4 Million

All Nominees Combined: 28.8 Million

Big Momma's House 2 almost took out the entire Nominee slate. Sad.

Eeee gads that is scary. No wonder why some studios make the decisions they do. Who in the heck is watching BMH 2. Do you think they planned a triology from the start?

Oh please, not a trilogy! I don't know. The original made a bunch of money, doing a brainless sequel is an easy money maker for a studio. I don't blame the studio for doing it, they need to make their money, but what I wonder is why people go to see films like this? The reason why there aren't as many quality films as there could be is precisely because one terrible movie like "Big Momma's House 2" can almost defeat the *entire Oscar nominee slate* in one week. Oh well.
