Can we just make a poop joke and be done with it?

Kim Hollis: Delgo opened to $511,920 and had a historically low per-venue average of $237. Say something funny about Delgo.

David Mumpower: Whogo? Alternately, Dude you're not getting a Delgo.

Joel Corcoran: "Is that a Delgo in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

Brandon Scott: What's funny is I haven't foggiest idea of what this is? This isn't a movie - is it? It can't be. I know Delgo in Spanish means "of the go"...clearly moviegoers didn't. Go, that is.

Scott Lumley: This film has been in production since 2001, had a clever viral marketing campaign behind it and some very top notch voice talent as well. And with all that and a fairly wide release to 2,160 screens it made $511,920, which is $115k less than Frost/Nixon made on 39 screens. That's not a typo, Frost/Nixon was outgunned 55 to 1 and still handily beat Delgo's box office for the weekend in very limited release. To me, that almost makes up for the $92 million that Beverly Hills Chihuahua made.

Almost.





Daron Aldridge: Just when you thought that Igor was the biggest animated flop of the year, Delgo pulls a Doogal.

Kim Hollis: That's not even enough to buy a used Yugo.

This is the least successful performance for a wide release in box office history. So, congrats!

Jason Lee: I think that Fox/Walden must be thanking their lucky stars right about now.

Reagen Sulewski: The producers would have been better off giving their money to Bernie Madoff.
(Do I have to wait for my trophy for most instantly dated joke, or can I get it right now?)
