Keeping up the annual tradition, let us pause to remember those films at
the other end of the year's business--
Judging by Boxofficemojo.com numbers for movies in 800 or more screens,
completed or for at least three months (out of 150 films listed), the
ten LEAST box-office grossing major movies of 2004:

10) Surviving Christmas $11.2M
9) The Perfect Score $10.3M
8) Sleepover $9.4M
7) Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 $9.1M
6) First Daughter $9M
5) Suspect Zero $8.7M
4) Connie and Carla $8M
3) Thunderbirds $6.8M
2) Teacher's Pet: the Movie $6.5M
1) The Big Bounce $5.9M

(As I said, Mojo only breaks off the listing at #150, so if anyone with
other sources have corrections, feel free--
The numbers for some of the rankings seem unusually high.)

Not only the wor$t, but maybe the biggest surprise there. Morgan
Freeman and Owen Wilson doing Elmore Leonard should've been certain
profit ...which must, therefore, be a mythical creature.

Considering we're talking about a movie that beat "Connie & Carla",
"Teacher's Pet" *AND* "Thunderbirds", more of a shock.

I actually paid to see _The Big Bounce_. It isn't good, but it isn't really
that bad, either, IMHO.
