The Avengers stayed on top of the box office for a third straight week while the much hyped movie Battleship bombed at the box offfice this weekend, earning just over $25 million over the past three days.

Battleship was loosely based on the board game, and it appeared a lot of moviegoers made up their minds not to see the movie because of that. Plus it got a lot of negative reviews from critics. But the movie will not be a total box office dud. It has already made over $200 million in overseas markets, so it will most likely break even financially.

So I guess we won't be seeing that Hungry Hungry Hippos movie after all.

Battleship sucks.

So much wrong with that movie. If there's a worse movie this summer I don't want to see it.

Star Trek (2009), Armageddon and Pearl Harbor looked like the inspiration.

Believe it or not, they even work the game into this.

Nothing to see here, even on cable.

Rihianna's the kiss of death.

I think this new trend of releasing movies abroad first is working out for us.

Judging from the previews....Battleship looks like Transformers 3 only over water and with navy soldiers donning square shaped heads. For real, why does John Carter and Rihanna look like their head have been stuck inside a cube for two hours?

I don't think Rihanna had anything to do with why this movie dropped like a steaming turd into a port-a-potty. I think a third of the moviegoing audience made up their minds not to see it once they heard it was going into production based on the board game, another third said no thanks after they found out it was about evil extra-terrestrials in the ocean, and even more ditched the idea of seeing it after seeing the promos, which just reminded them of Transformers at sea. I'm sure the fact that it starred that John Carter-guy, the blonde swimsuit model with the huge breasts, and that famous currently hot female pop star not named Beyonce, Lady GaGa, or Katy Perry was probably way down on the list of reasons not to see this movie.

Tranformers over water it is not.

Rihanna isn't bad. How it is that she's the only female on an aircraft carrier (crew around 4,000) is never explained. The same three characters do all the heavy lifting despite working out of their classifications. Repeatedly.

The first hour, is just a waste. Every attempt at humor is stillborn, throughout.

The aliens could've ended the movie on their way down but for some reason don't.

I was kinda hoping the next big blockbuster would based on Connect Four.
