Huge numbers this weekend – Twilight smashes the box office with a $70+ million performance.
Quantum of Solace, which I saw just last night, earned $400,000 more than premiering movie Bolt, $27.4 million and $27 million respectively.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa continues its $10+ million per week earnings, and Role Models continues to hold on to round out the top 5.

Big big weekend here folks – the much anticipated release of the latest 007 movie, Quantum of Solace led to big box office bank rolls! The movie had the highest number of tickets sold in the entire history of the franchise (which spans 4 decades). I hope to see this one soon myself!
Another high-roller for this past weekend was Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, which debuted last weekend. It finished with a little over half of last week’s total at $36.1 million.
Role Models finished over $10 million for another week, and HSM3 is STILL in the top 5! Madness!
Kudos to the top 5 for this weekend – and let’s see what happens next weekend!

BIg numbers this weekend! The movie season is finally upon us – lots of big name films and franchises are gearing up and letting the floodgates of movies swing open! Just don’t drown!
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa raked in just over $63 million on its opening weekend, more than all the other top 5 weekend films put together! I myself enjoyed Madagascar, and I would like to see the sequel sometime soon.
Another opening film was Role Models, a movie about a man who has to mentor two very troubled kids. One is a huge dork, the other is a pain in the @ss! It also had a great start at $19.3 million.
HSM3 hangs in the top 5 for another week, almost earning another $10 million to its account. Other films left from last week were Changeling and Zack and Miri.
See you next week!
