Memorial Box Office Mutant Mayhem

This is what happens when you only have 1 movie opening in wide release on a weekend like Memorial Day. X-Men, despite being the low point for the "trilogy" had no competition, and pretty much kicked ass even though it deserved a good kick in the ass for shitting on the source material and then not having the balls to stick by its decisions. Tom Hanks and his weird hair configuration take #2 spot this weekend and the CG animated animals of Over the Hedge get the #3 spot. These three movies have a combined take of close to $200 million on their own.

The rest of the list pretty much dips under the $10 million mark, with MI:III starting to show that it might need its thetans re-aligned, Poseidon sinks a little lower, and RV is running out of gas. See No Evil is seeing no cash, Just My Luck proves to be unlucky and reaffirms Brandon Davis's opinion of Lindsey Lohan . . . if she keeps this up . . . she will only be left with $7 million, which basically makes her "really poor".

United 93 is circling towards the bottom of the countdown, making it's final approach to DVD land, and An American Haunting keeps poltergeist'ing the #10 spot. Who you gonna call?


1. X-Men: The Last Stand - $120,125,000
