    Almost up to to date with this series! Keep your fingers crossed!

    Some more big numbers from January, this time from the weekend of January 16-19. We have the premiere of Paul Blart: Mall Cop with a huge $39.2 million.

    Sharply dropping off from first place to land in second is Gran Torino with $25.6 million. My Bloody Valentine 3-D edges Biggie Smalls tribute Notorious for second with a $700,000 advantage.

    Finishing out the top five is the children’s film Hotel for Dogs, which earned $22.9 million.

    Not one film in the top five this weekend grossed any less than $20 million. That’d be fine in my account any day, so the execs must be loving it!

    Sorry for the late update, it’s been a crazy week here at HQ!

    This weekend’s top five were a variety of movies and genres, from number one being Vince Vaghn’s Four Chistmases to James Bond in Quantum of Solace.

    Bolt, a story involving an animated dog who thinks he’s a superhero opens in second place, Australia remains in the top five through its second week of release.

    Twilight remains in the top five with another big weekend box office. Overall all the films in the top five grossed over $10 million, signifying that more people are going out to the theaters as the holiday season progresses.

    I look forward to what a rerelease of The Dark Knight into theaters will make – stay tuned!

    I also hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend!

    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!

    Shelby’s Note: Sorry for the delay this week on the Box Office update!

    This weekend was pretty slow, with High School Musical 3, yet ANOTHER Disney film leads the Weekend Box Office. Will it EVER end? Yeah, you’re right; it won’t! =(

    Also a nice figure to see is the comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which seems to be a great movie but has been plagued with its public image all because of its name. Let that be a lesson to all film makers out there: Your movie’s name is VERY important, not only for viewers but for ADVERTISEMENTS!

    Saw V still hangs on, and The Haunting of Molly Hartley scrapes by with 5th place. Funny to note that there were very few horror movies out on Halloween. Figure that…

    Well, until next week!

    Finally, we start to see some high numbers back at the box office. As we progress into fall, more big name movies and franchises start to appear in theaters everywhere! This season of movie popularity usually lasts through winter into late March and early April, and then things slow down for the summer once again.

    This weekend’s big name was High School Musical 3. Blech. My sister has been singing from it non-stop. Also new was the fifth installment of the Saw series, Saw V. It has been largely regarded as one of the weakest movies of the series in terms of plot, but I will save that review for Patrick who saw the movie last night.

    Also still in the top five is Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Seriously? Come on! >=[
