It's too close to call with Eurotrip, Welcome to Mooseport, and Barbershop 2. Only a $700,000 difference between the three of them. When the actuals come out tomorrow, I have a feeling their places on the top ten will be switched around.

I see that keeping Against the Ropes on the shelf for long helped its Box Office take.

I thought Welcome to Mooseport would have done better (given the star power of Hackman and Romano).

Yeah but Mooseport was getting AWFUL reviews. The guy in the Oregonian newspaper made it sound like it was the worst movie he'd seen in eons and EW gave it a D-.

The film has gotten little publicity. What? A sneak preview last week, the trailer was released a month ago (if not less), and a few TV spots here and there. I was expecting it to do awful (like a $3 million weekend total).

Oooh...Return of the King is still playing. I didn't know that.

I might still get a chance to see at least one of the LOTR movies in the cinema.

I would think with the Oscars coming up The King will be there for a while.
