Wow, positions 2-7 are all within $625,000 of each other.

Lokks like another thrilling week at the box office. I noticed that Wicker Man is virtually tied with a movie (The Illusionist) that's playing in only half the number of theaters and has been around two week longer.

Protector is only a sneak preview, right?

Wait, I'm thinking of the Coast Guard movie. This is Ong Bak Transporter 3.

Pirates 2 broke the $1 billion WW mark on Friday.

Not too shabby for a movie a lot of people claimed they didn't like.

Another "thrilling" weekend indeed. Wake me up when we get out of the dumping ground zone.

Though, hollywoodland is pretty nice with its take in for the type of film that it is.

wow I don't think I can remember the last weekend where the top movie didn't make over 10 million

Ouch

The last movie to open at #1 with less than $10 million was David Spade's Dickie Roberts, three years ago, which opened with only $6.7 million.

Pass.
