Disappointments at the Box - 11/2

So, it may be a few days late, but that's cause I was so sickened by what people went to watch last weekend. I literally needed a few days to recover. And no this has nothing to do with my dislike of Micheal Jackson, and more to do with this countries obsession with a dead man who hasn't been culturally relevant for 20 years.

Here we go:

1. This Is It - $23.2M - See comment above.

2. Paranormal Activity - $16.4M - Really? That many people still wanted to watch The Blair Which Knock-Off!

3. Law Abiding Citizen - $7.4M - At least on good film is getting some recognition.

4. Couple Retreat - $6.46M - I still got nothing

5. Where the Wild Things Are - $5.93M - Make that 2 good films. And look for my review to be posted in the next few days.

6. Saw VI - $5.27M - Stick a fork in her. She's done.

7. Astro Boy- $3.46M - The machine guns in the butt quote just completely turned me off of this one, even though it has a decent cast.

8. The Stepfather - $3.21M

9. The Vampire's Assistant - $3.1M - This movie didn't nearly make enough. Here's hoping it did better internationally.

10. Amelia - $3.03M - A mediocre looking movie pulls in low number. Might have needed a little more advertising.


So there you are. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go lie down again. I feel a touch of the disappointments coming back.
