Box Office Report - Disturbing

Disturbia - The number one movie in the country is a somewhat unofficial remake of a Christopher Reeves starring remake of a Hitchcock'ian classic? There is nothing original anymore. But, at least it knocks down the reigning Will Ferrell movie du jour, so it can't be all that bad.

Blades of Glory - Former top spot box office dominator gets knocked down a peg, but it still doesn't hurt its numbers. Are there really no other movies to watch that this movie still rakes in a considerable amount of dough? I mean, making 14 million this time of the year, is like having a so-so opening weekend take. But this movie has been around for a solid 3 weeks. And you all could have gone to watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Meet the Robinsons - I have not met the Robinsons, nor do I want to meet them. I'm pretty tired of the Chicken Littles and other Pixar knock-offs. Disney, give it a rest. You're looking a little on the desperate side. Like a girlfriend that would give up the poop-chute just so that her on the verge of leaving boyfriend sticks around for maybe another couple of nights. Seriously, retain your dignity.

Perfect Stranger - Halle Berry has an Oscar right? Bruce Willis is a pretty good action movie actor . . . so, what are they both doing in this piece of crap movie that should have gone straight to video? The answer to that would be as complicated as trying to explain to your dog that it shouldn't pee on your carpets. No matter how much you try to reason with it, there will still be a pet-stain on your rug by the end of the day.

Are We Done Yet? - This movie has a question mark in it's title, which really should be a question unto it's own. And what is that question? Why the hell would you drag your kids to this movie? Do you really want them to shut up for an hour and a half that bad? Didn't child services warn you about child-abuse already? God, kids have it rough these days.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters came in at #13 with a profitable 3 million take. Which, is pretty good considering it opening in limited release, and the budget for it must not have passed the $100,000 mark. Trust me, I watched it this weekend. While it was the definition of "random", it wasn't high-budget material. Thoroughly enjoyable though. I think this will make some decent cash on DVD.
