Inglourious Basterds Stills

The shit’s about to go down: Diane Kruger, Omar Doom & Eli Roth

What else could I possibly have to say about Inglourious Basterds? Quite a bit, actually, but, at the moment, let’s talk about those little Basterds that could. According to box office estimates, the film grossed another $6,546,000 in its fourth weekend. That brings the movie’s domestic total box office to $104,309,000 (not including an additional $83,859,005 internationally), which means that it’s only a matter of days before Basterds surpasses Pulp Fiction‘s (1994) total domestic gross, $107,928,762. Sure, that doesn’t yet account for inflation or higher ticket prices, but I predict that Basterds will eventually bring in enough that, soon, no one will bother to mention that. Basterds did this against the odds and without much initial critical acclaim. Conversely, Pulp Fiction didn’t have a big opening weekend but, instead, was bolstered so much by the Oscars (winning Best Picture & Best Original Screenplay) that Quentin Tarantino’s sophomoric film could, rather leisurely, stick around until mid-April 1995 to meet its total box office. In sharp contrast, Bastards will, in less than just one month at theaters, domestically outgross Pulp. Dare I say that Basterds, which has yet to open in some international markets, carries the distinct possibility of outdoing Pulp‘s $106 million international take. Yo, Harvey Weinstein… those repeat viewings certainly help, don’t they? Damn, I love it when underdogs kick some serious ass.

Pulp didn’t win Best Picture in ’94. That award went to Gump.
