This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2009.Feb.09

[Hand of Evil]

He is Not All That Into You, date flick took the number one spot and Taken takes a small drop to the number 2 slot. Push was number 6, guess every one saw it last year when it was titled Jumper (oops ), no, no, it is not the same movie, bad joke.

Glad to see Liam Neeson doing well. Surprised Coraline didn't do better considering the popularity of Gaiman.

Hey! I liked both of those movies, Push and Jumper! I want more of them!

I don't think Gaiman is that popular. Besides he has more of an adult following.

Push - Folks can just watch it every week as Heroes. But surprised it did so badly.

How did Stardust do?

Major disappointment...

As a reward for finishing a bunch of school projects this past weekend, I told my 11 year old daughter that we'd treat her to Coraline next weekend.

She says she wants to go see the new Pink Panther movie instead. So much for that gothy image she's worked so hard to maintain.

Not that great. US$39 million in US, but US$135 million worldwide.
Stardust (2007)

Season and Date Flick,

Topping the weekend, He's Just Not That Into You attracted $27.8 million on approximately 3,700 screens at 3,175 theaters, logging opening attendance in the same realm as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Failure to Launch. Featuring such familiar faces as Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore and a catchy title, the ensemble romantic comedy was heavily promoted with relatable dating humor and was well timed for Valentine's Day. According to distributor Warner Bros.' research, 80 percent of the audience was female.

at least Paul Blart: Mall Cop (Domestic: $96,886,687) has started to drop, still to figure out that one.

Movies with large (known) casts can attract a wider audience, too.
