Stallone Bombs With A Bullet – Biff Bam Pop’s Weekend Box Office Wrap-Up Report

It was a definite bummer at the box office for every film that didn’t involve a zombie romance. Here’s what went down.

Warm Bodies was the big winner at the box office, making a decent $19.5 million, an impressive number considering that there are no real stars in the flick. Critical reaction was very strong, which certainly helped, as did the off-beat zombie/human girl romance concept. It will be interesting to see if the film has any legs in the coming weeks.
