Cars Refuels at Box Office

Ok, sure, everyone loves Pixar and it's animated endeavours, but "Cars" is by far their weakest outing yet. It's just funny how much money they make with these movies though. No wonder Disney bought them for a cool 8 billion smackers. "Nacho Libre" opens at number 2 with a decent 20+ million opening weekend. I didn't expect much out of that. The other car movie this weekend opened up in the third spot, drifting past the "Lake House". No magic mailbox will get be delivering much more box office money than what they're getting now.

"The Break-Up" is hanging on, and most likely claiming to be "The Funniest Romatic Movie in America" despite coming in 5th. The only reason being is that there are no rom-coms before it. The 2nd (and inexplicable) Garfield movie opened in the 6th position, which hopefully means that Hollywood will be putting the fat cat to sleep soon. I don't think there needs to be a 3rd Garfield movie.

Marvel's mutants continue their downward slide, just like the content of the movie's plot suffered a downward slide in quality. It's still doing better than "The Omen" and its one hit wonder Tuesday opening. When you make a deal with Satan, you have to make sure you read the fine print. "The Da Vinci Code" has made enough money to buy itself a sequel, or prequel, or parallel . . . I don't know, you have to be retarded to understant Dan Brown's novels. Last week, "Over the Hedge" beat out "The Da Vinci Code" by $100,000 . . . this week is not the case. Maybe someone got a visit from a shadowy religious organization. Hmmm . . .
