This just in: a very disappointing first week at the box office for this movie. It only made $15 million. I was shocked when I saw that figure on I-Mockery.com. I was expecting it to make around $50 million, or $30 million at the very least.
I must admit I'm surprised by the low draw for it as well. I went to a Sunday matinee (which I know isn't that much of an indicator, but still) and there were maybe a dozen people in a theater that seats 400.
As for the film, it had a few quotable lines and some cringe-inducing action... it certainly didn't exceed any expectations I had, which were low to begin with.

I am no longer on MTGS staff, so please don't contact me asking me to do staff things. :|
i think the experience of going with all your friends and with the whole theater (i went on friday) jumping and going crazy whenever a snake killed/got killed ir whenever samual l jackson apeared was by itself worth 10$ :0
I think it beat out taladega nights at the box offices if u count the Thursday showing
When i went there was like 20 other people in the thearter besides me and my friends, but it was still fun because me and my freinds laughed at even though it wasn't the best movie people in the thearter were laughing at it and no one was yelling at the screen and throwing popcorn at it

If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number.
If you are depressed, it doesn't matter which number you press. No one will answer.
Eh, a lot of people probably decided to hear about it from their friends before going. I doubt it will take in significantly less this weekend.
I don't intend to go, however cool it sounds, because I hate snakes and many horror movies bother me to no end (jesus, I got freaked out by Cabin Fever). I'm just disappointed that there are so many freaking emo bands on the official soundtrack! Why in hell would you want FALL OUT BOY on the soundtrack for SNAKES ON A PLANE!
Loved it! It was exactly what I wanted, Snakes on a Motha-******' plane! I laughed, I jumped, I laughed some more.
By the way(if no one else has said this yet), go to their official web site and send a phone message from Sam Jackson to everyone you know. Funny stuff.
I agree about the poor picking's on the SoaP sound track. I would say at minimum 75% of SoaP's audience is internet nerd's who make fun of emo at every chance that they get.
