Updated Numbers: Domestic: $175.5 million Overseas: $170.4 million Total B.O.: $345.9 million Hitch continues to make strides at the international box office. With its international total eclipsing $170 million, Hitch's worldwide total has passed $340 million. The romantic comedy was #1 in Greece, Portugal and The Netherlands. Keep in mind, the movie has yet to open in Japan. The movie will definitely finish above $350 million and will now set its sights on $375 million worldwide.

I liked him as a player when he was on the Saints. R.I.P. :sad6:

I guess the insanely, large Chicago Bulls banner below could be the dead giveaway but heck I'll say it anyway. I am from the world's greatest city: CHICAGO, IL., USA

Update: The weekend estimates have been released and Hitch came in at #12 with an estimated $1.2 million. That brings its total to $175.4 million. It's still another $1.3 million short from taking over the #4 all-time spot on the romantic comedy list. Actual numbers are released on Monday night. Overseas numbers will come out either Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'll be 30 on May 27.

I've got Switch nailed. I know most of Ms. Holy Roller, Lost & Found and Mr. Nice Guy. I've got half of Tell Me Why, I Wish I Made That/Swagga, Pump Ya Brakes and Here He Comes. The rest is still a little hard to pick up.

Here are my faves even though I like the whole album from start to finish minus the R&B remix of Switch: 1. Lost & Found 2. Ms. Holy Roller 3. Tell Me Why 4. I Wish I Made That/Swagga 5. Pump Ya Brakes 6. Wave Em Off 7. Here He Comes 8. If U Can't Dance(Slide)

I, too, am a Star Wars freak. I hate to burst everyone's bubble but the upcoming Star Wars film will be the last one. George Lucas has publicly stated that Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith will be the last Star Wars film to be made. Keep in mind that there are three chapters after Return Of The Jedi. *NSYNC was supposed to have a cameo in Attack Of The Clones. Lucas' kids wanted to see *NSYNC in a cameo role but Star Wars bloggers went nuts and Lucas quickly nixed the idea.

I would choose either I'm Comin', Here He Comes, Y'all Know or Born To Reign.

cool. will definitely watch. n.e. set the standard for all of these boy bands.

"though I was wack 'cause I wanted to act/ now every brother and his mother in rap be trying to do that." - Don't Say Nothing, 1997 Will's been called a sellout for many reasons. AJ was right when he talked about FPOBA but it also has to do with the fact that Will didn't curse or shoot people in his rhymes. I remember Ice-T going on the Arsenio Hall show and calling JJFP "Mickey Mouse music". The fact that Will did "clean" music and attracted masses of fans, it was perceived that he was "selling out." I always found that to be interesting considering over 70% of people who buy rap music are white/non-black. The fact that Will didn't settle for "following everybody when it's time to rap" meant that he wasn't really "black". He's been called soft or wack throughout his whole career. It's the reason he's getting dissed by "a bunch of clowns with a bunch of cliques" like G-Unit. What these clowns need to understand is that there wouldn't be movie deals if Will doesn't break through. There wouldn't be TV shows if FPOBA wasn't a huge smash. Cats wouldn't get endorsement deals if MC Hammer didn't pave the way. It seems like these "clowns" don't know their hip-hop history and don't really care to know.

I've heard Switch being played at several NBA games. I think the first time I heard it was when the Bulls were playing the Nets in New Jersey a little over a month ago. I have also the song in Los Angeles(Lakers game), Detroit(Pistons game), Chicago(Bulls game) and I think Houston(Rockets game). It's making the rounds which is a good thing.

Updated Numbers: Domestic: $173.9 million Overseas: $161.8 million Total B.O.: $335.7 million Hitch had another impressive week overseas finishing #1 in three countries(Greece, The Netherlands and Portugal). If Hitch can gross another $11.6 million, it will surpass I, Robot's lofty total of $347.2 million and rank as Will's 4th biggest movie in his career. Here are Will's biggest worldwide movie totals: 1. Independence Day - $817.0 million(ranked #12 all-time) 2. Men In Black - $589.4 million(ranked #26) 3. Men In Black II - $441.8 million(ranked #54) 4. I, Robot - $347.2 million(ranked #104) 5. Sharktale - $340.6 million(ranked #109) 6. Hitch - $335.7 million(ranked #112)

The actuals are in and Hitch made $1.7 million just like the estimates said. The movie has now grossed $173.7 million and will look to finish in the $175-180 million range. The international numbers will be out later in the week.

I gotta agree with AJ. I've been down with JJFP since '87 and Homebase is my favorite JJFP album.

Numbers Update: After spending 8 weeks in top 10(2 of those at #1 and 6 weeks in the top 5), Hitch has finally fallen out of the top 10 pulling in an estimated $1.7 million. That brings Hitch's total to $173.7 million. Hitch will need about $2.8 million to overtake There's Something About Mary and move into 4th place all-time.

I guess I could be described as a sports nut. I love football - it's my favorite sport. As you can tell by my signature, I'm also into basketball. Baseball is cool too but it's too long of a season to get hyped this early. My favorite teams are: NFL: Chicago Bears(CHI stand up!!!!!) NBA: Chicago Bulls(Playoff bound, baby!!!!), San Antoinio Spurs MLB: Chicago White Sox, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs NCAA Football: Florida St. University Seminoles NCAA Basketball: U. of North Carolina Tar Heels('05 NCAA Champs) , U. of Illinois Fighting Illini('05 NCAA Runner-Up) My favorite athletes are: Michael Jordan - The Greatest of All-Time Tim Duncan, Spurs - 2 Time NBA MVP Kevin Garnett, T-Wolves - '04 NBA MVP Terrell Owens, Eagles Donovan McNabb, Eagles Brian Urlacher, Bears Tiger Woods Serena Williams, '05 Australian Open Champion

Here are the top 5 grossing romantic comedies of all-time - the worldwide numbers: 1. Pretty Woman - $463.4 million 2. What Women Want - $374.1 million 3. There's Something About Mary - $369.9 million 4. My Big Fat Greek Wedding - $368.7 5. Hitch - $320.3 million

Updated Numbers: Domestic: $171.2 million Overseas: $148.9 million Total B.O.: $320.1 million The actuals came out today and Hitch pulled in $2.9 million over the weekend. The romantic comedy had another successful week in the international box-office bringing it's total to nearly $150 million. The movie finished #1 in 7 countries including Greece, The Netherlands, Hungary and the U.K. With its impressive international showing, Hitch could finish in the $350-375 million worldwide mark. Hitch is now ranked #5 on the all-time romantic comedy list behind My Big, Fat Greek Wedding($241.4 million), What Women Want($182.8 million), Pretty Woman($178.4 million) and There's Something About Mary($176.4 million)

They keep changing. Today it's: 1. Here He Comes 2. Wave Em Off 3. Tell Me Why 4. Lost & Found 5. I Wish I Made That/Swagga 6. Mr. Nice Guy

I'd give them a 9. I think all of the beats were pretty good. The only one that was kinda of average was If U Can't Dance. Mr. Nice Guy has the wicked rock guitar riff and I love the violins & organs in Lost & Found.

I think the only time he should use Fresh Prince is when Jeff is with him. I don't mind the whole "Big Will" or "Will Smith" references. It's not about the name, it's about the music. Will's new album is hot for a reason - the music is great. I mean, does it really matter what name he's using when he's making classic music like Lost & Found? He can call himself "Mr. Bigglesworth" for all I care as long as the music he's making is real and from the heart.

Favorite R&B Albums: Tony! Toni! Tone! - House Of Music Tony! Toni!

Blige - My Life Boyz II Men - Cooleyhighharmony

Hitch has finished in the top 10 again this week bowing out at #9 with $3 million this weekend. That brings Hitch's U.S. total to $171.3 million. $180 million seems like the more likely finish for Hitch, one of the biggest romantic comedy hits in cinematic history. Hitch now ranks #5 on the all-time list for romantic comedy. It is the biggest grossing movie of 2005(but that is due to change with several blockbusters coming out this spring & summer, most notably Star Wars, War Of The Worlds and Batman Begins).
