Weekend Box Office: Gotta Be 21

As expected, 21, has taken the number 1 spot at the box office. I’m not sure whether it was, Kevin Spacey as the bad guy or Kate Bosworth as the MIT math geek, but I guess there was something for everyone. Horton Hears a Who, drops out of the number one spot, but doesn’t go far, it is still right up their in our top two for it’s third week after being released. The new Superhero Movie, rounds off our top three, but we’ll see if it can hang on thru next week. Meet the Browns, hasn’t been getting great reviews, but apparently that’s not what matters to viewers, as it’s only dropped two places from last week. Stop-Loss, the new Iraq war film, didn’t seem to make as much of a dent as some may have hoped for, but it could be one that gains momentum. Drillbit Taylor, Shutter, and 10,000 B.C. are all hanging in their around the middle, proving that there is not much out there at the moment. Somehow, College Road Trip is still on our top ten, but I have no clue why. And, last but not least, The Bank Job finishes off our top 1o, not a great film by any means, but definitely much better than some of your options right now.
