Here are your top money makers in Hollywood right now. If you had checked this list a couple of days ago, you would have actually seen Hoodwinked in the lead, which would have signaled the return of the Anti-christ. Looks like they retabulated the results and gave the top spot to Glory Road. It's not by much though, just over 100 grand, which is pocket change for me. Queen Latifah's near death comedy gets some cash while Chronicles of Narnia: Long Title & Hostel keep making money and ensuring sequels. Tristan & Isolde premiers at #8 despite the ton of commercial coverage leading to this past weekend. I swear I could not get into my car and listen to the radio without getting assaulted by 3 commercials for that movie every 10 minutes.

Brokeback Mountain I think opened in wider release, and thanks to being nominated for awards and the such keeps making steady money. King Kong breaks 200 million, which is sort of disappointing when you think about it. It ain't no LOTR cash machine. Not a whole lot of comedies on the countdown, if you could consider Cheaper by the Dozen 2 a comedy. My favorite comedy of 2006 (Grandma's Boy) so far remains largely unseen. Kinda like bigfoot. You've heard about someone seeing it, but you can't get any evidence about it. Oh well. There's always DVD.
