Box Office Breakdown: Almighty Only Does Alrighty

Question: When is being the #1 movie just not enough? (Hint: You have three chances to answer this question correctly).
Answer(s):
- When the critics don’t really have anything good to say about you
- When you made less than 1/2 of what your predecessor did on opening weekend
- When it cost over $175 million just to create you
Apparently having God on your side doesn’t guarantee you heavenly box office numbers. Evan Almighty, the follow-up to 2003’s Bruce Almighty, failed to bring in a large congregation this past weekend. Although it did better than the rest of the flock, it’s $32 million take paled in comparison to Bruce’s $68 million opening. And then there’s that glaring $175 million bill…
Of course, we shouldn’t feel so badly about Steve Carell’s career. I have a feeling that God is providing for him in other ways.

That’s cause God wasn’t on his side:)
God promised to never destroy the Earth by flood again and gave us the rainbow as a reminder of that promise. Then they go and make a movie about it?
Tsk…Tsk…Filmakers not reading their bibles?
Now if Evan Almighty had built a fireproof contraption of some sort that could withstand flames that turned everything to ashes…then maybe God would have had their back and turned their movie into box office gold. Research is crucial guys!
