Too bad it still isn&#8217;t making too much money. Surprise. I kind of hoped it would catch up a little, especially during last weekend&#8217;s dullness. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.contactmusic.com\/news.nsf\/article\/grindhouse%20films%20to%20be%20split%20in%20two%20for%20international%20release_1029624\">Contactmusic.com (source) <\/a> tries to confirm that the film will be split up internationally. They are blaming this entire thing now on the 3h running time, while I personally tend to blame it on &#8216;the people&#8217;. It&#8217;s not <strong>Grindhouse<\/strong>&#8216;s fault that people are too dumb to spend 6 bucks on 3 movies that are entertaining as hell. But well, that&#8217;s nothing new. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/movies\/?id=grindhouse.htm\">Boxofficemojo.com (source)<\/a> still puts it on a not even 24 million. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if they let it sit in theaters for another week or two, or maybe three? Personally, I would not have taken all the ads out of the papers and off TV, especially in the run up to last weekend&#8217;s dull openings. But well, I guess the irony is that a grindhousey movie ended up just like a grindhouse movie, not making gigantic amounts of money. The only problem being that cost gigantic amounts of money for a small flick like that. I hope it rocks the international box offices though, where it will be Tarantino&#8217;s next film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarantino.info\/wiki\/index.php\/Death_Proof\"><strong>Death Proof<\/strong><\/a> in full length (about 115 minutes) in the summer, and maybe Rodriguez&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarantino.info\/wiki\/index.php\/Planet_Terror\"><strong>Planet Terror<\/strong><\/a> (for most countries, no release date has been set) clocking at around 95 minutes or so full length.
