Biggest 2nd weekend drop ever?
I saw that Vince Vaughn's Wild West Bla Bla Bla (snore) movie just had a 2nd weekend drop of 97.3% from it's previous opening weekend (in which it bombed). Is this the biggest drop ever for a 2nd weekend of a movie? It has to be close. I know that Gigli had something like a 90 percent drop in it's 2nd weekend.

Looks like Gigli dropped around 81%; still horrible though. Ouch, I didn't realize Star Trek: Nemesis dropped 76% from the first to the second weekend.

Wow, they haven't added it yet, but the Vince Vaughn film is indeed the #1 second weekend drop. Of course, it's not a scripted film, but it's still a film that was released in theaters, so it should count.

I'm assuming we're not counting all the films that have had a 100% drop off like The Hottie and the Nottie?

If that figure of 97.3% drop stands for the Vince Vaughn movie I would have to feel kinda bad for him. That is not a record you really want to hold. The weinsteins dropping this film was one of the good decisions they've made in the past few years.

Bad Moon at #4? WB should have given that more of a chance. I thought it was a really cool werewolf flick, even though it opened in barely any theaters and left most of those in the 2nd week.

The Vince Vaughn flick was only booked for 1 week (instead of the usual 2) in most theaters, it dropped 90% of it's first weekend bookings so the drop really isn't that big of a surprise... Gigli had longer bookings.

Maybe the fact that it was not a good movie had something to do with it and word of mouth killed it?
I think First Contact benefited from good word of mouth and thats why that Trek film did good. Star Trek and Nemesis both have a core audience that will go and see both movies no matter what but they also relay on reviews and word of mouth/interest and for ome reason ST: Nemesis didn't have it.
