Some pretty goofy stuff going on there. It's virtually always the case that the TW number is larger than the LW number for each movie (because new movies always take the top spots and everything gets shuffled down the rankings, etc).

But here we see:
- Waitress (moves up from 12th to 5th!)
- Wild Hogs (moves up from 17th back into the top 10!)

Waitress was in limited release and just openned in a number of new markets. Wild Hogs, just has staying power, it has been constant in its weekly take, 87 days. Note Blades of Glory has only been out 59 days and only had a take of 500,000$.

Wild Hogs is just a genuinely funny movie. Some movies show you all the funny parts in the trailers, but not that one.

Waitress is getting crazy good reviews and is a non-blockbuster for people interested in movies without stuff blowing up. (Or Lindsey Lohan, who is a different sort of special effect.)

No Lohan in it but it does have Nathan Fillion for those Firefly fans.

Waitress is a really good movie, and I am glad to see the good press it is getting and wider release.
