Box Office Bonanza!

WOW! Where the Wild Things Are is living up to the hype! So far it's getting great reviews, and it has taken the number 1 spot at the box office! Those giant animatronic/CGI/puppet/costumes are a hit!

Law Abiding Citizen, starring Gerard Butler, is at number 2. We weren't that into that one, so we don't know how it has done so well. Maybe it's better than the trailer made it seem!

Paranormal Activity, one we're super psyched about, has made it to number 3. Can't wait to see it, as we're huge fans of shitting our pants with fear and delight.

Couples Retreat made it onto the list at number 4, so I guess there's some mildly entertaining stuff in it. We'll see it on DVD, that's good enough for us!

The Stepfather comes in at number 5. I guess people are bigger fans of domestic violence than we anticipated. We'll skip it, thanks.

Box Office Bonanza!

YESSSS!!! The world lurrvves zombies! It's official! Woody "Comeback Kid" Harrelson is number 1 at the box office with Zombieland! We love him as a leading man, and we can't WAIT to see this one!

Meatballs is holding strong at number 2, while the Toy Story 3D Double Feature made it to number 3. It's a sign of things to come for Toy Story 3... which is SURE to be huuuuge.

The hilarious Ricky Gervais comes in at number 4 with The Invention of Lying, another one we're sure to love, and maybe pee our pants a little.

Brucey comes in at number 5 with Surrogates, and we're hearing mixed reviews for this one. But hey... we'll see it anyway.

October 2-4

1 Zombieland
2 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Sony
3 Toy Story / Toy Story 2 (3D)
4 The Invention of Lying
5 Surrogates

Box Office Bonanza!

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs takes the number one spot AGAIN! Good for them. Guess we gotta get our butts out to see it!

Brucy-Wucey's sci-fi action flick Surrogates stole number 2, and we're hearing it's super-duper goooood. The new Fame snuck into number 3, and Matt Damon's The Informant! (EXCLAMATION POINT) took number 4. Somehow Tyler Perry remains in the top 5 with I Can Do Bad All By Myself. I guess less people have brains than we thought.

5 Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself

Box Office Bonanza!

What exactly is going on? We're so surprised by this weekend's box office results!

Sony's Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is numero uno! Congrats! This film was the underdog, and we're happy Sony has had a taste of success from an animated film, finally taking some of the glory away from the giants like Pixar and Dreamworks.


Matt Damon's The Informant is number 2, and we're hearing great things about his performance in this one. Go Damon, go Damon, go!

Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself is miraculously at number three. Whatevs. Hype can do a lot... especially when Oprah backs you.

Jennifer Aniston's chick-flick extremo Love Happens sneaks in at number 4. We're happy for her. Brad, the ex, is not in the top 5 anymore since Inglourious Basterds slipped. Nothing like success to make the ex jealous, eh Jen? Go girl!

Jennifer's Body is number 5, which goes to show that Megan Fox's body sure can make some moula. Reviews are terrible, and we're afraid Diablo Cody might be slipping. But we'll check it out anyway and make up our own minds.

5 Jennifer's Body

Box Office Bonanza!

Me oh my... it seems people actually respond to Tyler Perry making pretty much the same movie over and over and not knowing when to quit! Good for him.

I Can Do Bad All By Myself (yes he can) somehow sprang to number one, followed by Tim Burton's 9. Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is holding strong at #3, and Sandra Bullock's non-anticipated, apparent piece-'o-crap All About Steve is at #4. Hmmm maybe it's actually good! Critics slammed it, but hey... funny is funny, so we'll see it!

The Final Destination rounds out the list at #5. Good ol' fashion teen death seems to be very popular.

1 - Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself
2 - 9
3 - Inglourious Basterds
4 - All About Steve
5 - The Final Destination

Box Office Bonanza!

The results are in folks! Apparently, watching people die in the most horrendous ways really sells tickets! The Final Destination ranked #1 for the second week in a row, with All About Steve coming in a close second.

* Angie and Chantale shake their heads in disappointment to see Tarantino in the #3 spot *

1. The Final Destination

2. All About Steve

3. Inglourious Basterds

4. Gamer

5. District 9

Box Office Bonanza!

Wowee... Interesting weekend at the movies!

The Final Destination has knocked the Q-man's Inglourious Basterds out of the top spot! This DEFINITELY intrigues us... maybe this last installment of the death series is fantastic.

We've heard mixed things about Inglourious Basterds. Any Cin-Obs seen it and have an opinion?

So, Halloween II came out of nowhere and snagged #3, and District 9 and G.I. Joe hung in there at #4 and #5.

Enjoy the many horrific ways to die, below.

Box Office Bonanza!

Hooray for Quentin! One of our favie filmmakers of all time has taken the top place in the box office this past weekend! *Angie and Chantale do a little jig and wave pom-poms.*

Give us a Q! Give us a U! Ok you get the point. We likey-like Quentin Tarantino. Now all we have to do is see the new movie! Ah!

Peter Jackson's Alien flick, District 9, holds on tight at number 2. Another one we're mighty-excitey to see.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Pumped up Military Propoganda is still on the top of the list at #3, and we totally agree. We hit this one up old school at the drive-in, and it was awesome. Silly at times, but awesome for what it was.

Chick flicks are hanging in there too, with The Time Traveler's Wife, and Julie and Julia taking the fourth and fifth spots. Everyone loves a nice sentimental movie sometimes. *sniffle...

1 Inglourious Basterds
2 District 9
3 G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
4 The Time Traveler's Wife
5 Julie & Julia

Box Office Bonanza!

Well Peter Jackson's sci-fi action/thriller District 9 has knocked G.I. Joe from its number one spot! We're intrigued, since this movie flew under the radar for us. Now we GOTTA see it!

Joe remains in second, and chick-flick extraordinaire The Time Traveler's Wife comes in third. Julie & Julia clung to the top five again, and so did G-Force. Wow. We're gonna have to see what all the fuss is about with these talking guinea pigs.




August 14-16

1 District 9
2 G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
3 The Time Traveler's Wife WB
4 Julie & Julia
5 G-Force

Box Office Bonanza!

Wow! The Guinea Pigs have hung in there! Must be some hilarious rodents!

G.I. Joe has claimed the number one spot, with Julie & Julia claiming second! Kind of surprised, as we didn't predict it would be a summer blockbuster. Although we did predict critical acclaim!

G-Force is somehow still in the top 5. This is almost as surprising as Mall Cop. But hey... we get it. Sometimes brainless entertainment is just what people need.

Harry Potter is still hanging in there, as we predict it will for several more weeks, and ApaWow's Funny People is in the number 5 spot.

Weekend of August 7-9

1 G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

2 Julie & Julia

ApaWow is at it again, but this time the award whispers are a-swirlin'! We would love to see Judd officially recognized for his comedic genius! HP is holding on to the #2 spot... Oh how we loved this installment!

Box Office Bonanza!

Who'd have ever thought that talking guinea pigs would knock Harry Potter off his magical post at the top of the heap? Wow. People's brains are smaller than we thought... no, wait... we're gonna love G-Force, definitely.

Box Office Bonanza!

Well, Harry Potter continued to dominate the box office this weekend, holding tight to the #1 spot by a landslide!

The ranks are:

#1 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
#2 Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
#3 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
#4 Bruno
#5 The Hangover

Who knew Ice Age would do so well? Hmmm...

Tantalizing Trivia: Home Alone

Robert De Niro had originally been offered the role of Harry Lime in the 1990 box office smash Home Alone. But alas, Deniro turned down the role and Joe Pesci took the reigns...

Although we loved Pesci and Daniel Stern as a pair, this piece of trivia got us thinking about how great Pesci and Deniro would have been together as the Wet Bandits!

Transformers 2 Kills it!

As expected, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has made a killing on it's first midnight screening alone! A whopping $16,000,000! Can't wait to see what the final numbers are! They haven't even tabulated OUR ticket sales! We love Shia enough to see this a few times. Plus, I love watching Megan Fox because she looks just like me. *shifty eyes*
