Sorry about the crummy formatting I didn't realize Coraline has slowly climbed it's way up to a decent 70+ million dollars.

No big surprises here. Watchmen continues to get hammered. Taken has legs of steel. Think it'll get a slight boost from Liam Neeson sympathy?

Also, minor point loss for not coming up with some creative title, such as "Weekend Box Office Thread: I Love Knowing You, Man", etc.

Those titles are lame

"I Love Knowing Your Duplicity, Watchmen"

I was thinkin the same thing... something about yet another Nic Cage movie, but at least this one appears to be decent.

Honestly, I am surprised that Taken has such huge legs.

Paul Blart's off the top 10

I'm glad Julia Robert's movie didn't come at # 1.
I now know how those feel when certain movies bomb.

Don't worry. With MVA opening next week, hopefully Crapmen will follow suit.

I was very pleased to see this - it's nice when an intelligent, well-crafted children's film actually does sizable box office.

Wow...never thought Know1ng would do so well.

Watchmen still hasn't made it to $100 million. Wow.

Remember the geniuses in the other thread predicting Watchmen would make $100mil its opening weekend?

Maybe the bad numbers for Duplicity means Julia Roberts will be taking another long break. I cringe when one of her movies comes out; it means she will be on every talk show with those giant horse teeth and retarded laugh. GO AWAY!

eiyeeee - my eyes!

Not retarded! Special.
