This Weekend at the Box Office - 08.01.2005

Wedding Crashers number 1; slow to drop and showing staying power, The Island is sinking like Atlantis, over all a very weak release of new movies being down 21% from this time last year!

I seem to compare movies to the last movie I went, so here is my ranking of the movies I have seen so far THIS YEAR. This is personal taste and this list will change as movies come out.

1. Mr & Mrs Smith
2. Batman Begins - Wedding Crashers (yes, it is just as good but apples and oranges)
3. Star Wars: RotS
4. Sin City - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
5. The Hitchhiker’s Guide
6. The Pacifier
7. Fantastic Four - Sahara
8. Constantine
9. Kingdom of Heaven

March of the Penguins still up there eh? Good for it. Decent family entertainment that doesn't require 100m in special effects with stories that make no sense anyway.

1. Sin City
2. Kung Fu Hustle
3. March of the Penguins
4. G.R. Land of the Dead
5. Revenge of the Sith

(Really need to see Batman Begins before it's out of the theaters.)
