Projected Weekend Numbers: Marley and Me Sinks Its Teeth In

Looks like Marley and Me (despite my review) has taken over the number one family movie spot. Sigh. Directly behind it are Bedtimes Stories and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button which might have to fight it out for the number two spot. Then the good news. It looks like Twilight will FINALLY be kicked off the top ten by Slumdog Millionaire. Doesn’t that just feel right?
