Jackass wins in both box-office and buzz

Jackass: Number Two movie poster

Jackass: Number Two, MTV’s reality comedy featuring dangerous physical stunts, emerged winner in last weekend’s box-office results. And now, as the last additions to the weekend buzz are calculated in (Monday usually represents much of the weekend buzz, as many only blog about their weekends when at work or school), the movie has also taken over the top spot at Movie Say’s buzz rankings for the most discussed movies now in theaters.

By doing so, Jackass has pushed Black Dahlia to the second place, ending the Brian De Palma directed film’s uninterrupted two-week long hold of the top spot. The rest of the top movies remain unchaged, with The Last Kiss and Little Miss Sunshine continuing to generate more talk than most new releases or the summer’s big blockbuster movies Superman and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. Indeed, last week’s indication that Little Miss Sunshine would be starting to drop in rankings, seems to have been unwarranted.

Of the other major new films released for last weekend, Flyboys (last weekend’s fourth biggest box office taker) is sixth in the buzz, while All the King’s Men is 9th. Also Jet Li’s Fearless, which debuted at number two in the box office, makes an appearance in top 10 buzz, holding the 10th place.

Here is a comparison of last weekend’s box-office rankings and the current buzz rankings, which can be taken as indicative of the weekend audience’s reaction. Box-office results are taken from Box Office Mojo’s weekend charts.
