It is no surprise to me that the Grudge 2 managed to clinch the top spot this week. Horror movies are usually the best bets to make money. Especially if they aren’t facing any real competition. The new releases this week didn’t do so well. Sure the Grudge clinched the top spot but it did make almost $20 million less than the Grudge 1. To me that means the Grudge 3 will go straight to Dvd. Grudge 4? T.V. movie. The Departed managed to make a hefty sum this weekend only because it kicked so much ass. Go watch this. Seriously. What made me the most happy about this weekends top 10 is the fact that the WWE sponsored testosterone fest that was the Marine only managed to make it to the number 7 spot. Which means that who ever this new wrestler that Vince Mcmahon is trying to make a star out of will now only star in infomercials and wrestling conventions. Good. The only wrestler that is allowed to make movies is Hulk Hogan. And that because he is the only person who can wear a yellow bandana and a pink boa around his neck and still not get called a fag. It really was slim pickings this past weekend and it has been like this for some time now. I can’t wait for Oscar season. I want to watch some quality film making now. It’s a good thing I subscribe to Netflix. |
