because "Are we done yet" is a family movie, therefore the entire family can go see it.  Grindhouse is rated R correct?  not as many ppl can see it.

Nothing is wrong with this country. IT's working as it's intended and this proves it. Critics reviews mean nothing.. people don't spend money on something they don't want to see.

Enough people can see grindhouse look at 300 its made about 300 million world wide Made 100+ million easy in the US (about to hit 200 million in the US) and it came just behind grindhouse this weekend still making 8.8 million .Just makes me sad cause the movie(grindhouse)kicked ass (death proof was kind of lame but the end and all the car chase kicked ass)

Because, once again, you cant trust the public to do anything right. George Bush and Are we done yet are just two examples of this...

I will say that Grindhouse made a mistake releasing during Easter holiday when most families are going to the movies.  But the boxoffice is a sad comment on the tastes of the American audience.

Obviously Easter Weekend, you have the whole family over, which movie are you going to see? I don't think the family would enjoy Rose McGowan's Machine Gun Leg

300 has made that but its been out for about a month and a half now.Granted 300 had a better opening but it didn' have the competiton Grindhouse has.

Yes, and the people have shown they would rather watch Are We Done Yet than Grindhouse. Congratulations American public!

I do think most people have **** taste in movies, but Grindhouse doing bad is a sign that the country hasn't totally lost its mind...

Are We Done Yet doing well is a sign of how stupid people are however...

Because of Are We Done Yet's hilarious plot. Plus Ice Cube plays the part to perfection. Do I hear oscar buzz already. Oh, and I'm joking.

I don't wish to see a blantantly exploitive film with no substance.

I anticipated the Number 23, but ended up not seeing it after all the negativity. I will just check it out on dvd...

Grindhouse is all violence and sex. The movies are merely a throwback to grindhouse double features which they made movies that were heavy on violence and sex and pretty much nothing else. It is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard, except for maybe a woman with a gun for a leg....

Grindhouse movies such as The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and Dawn of the Dead.
Grindhouse isn't limited to "babes in prison" movies.

Grindhouse really was not all that good. Deathproof just made people leave the threater. You have QT fans saying the payoff was great(I agree)...But at the same time it does not make up for 70minutes of boring crappy talking. It was not even interesting dialog like in some of his other movies...It was just plain boring. Planet Terror was a fun ride. Gave us what we expected and wanted. We all know the previews were the best^^ And it is like you expect alot of people to go and sit through a 3hour movie min...Then add on previews and everything.

I don't see a connection with sales and quality, it's a rated R movie which doesn't help either, imagine how crappy it would have been if it was a pg-13 or lower.
