Weekend Box Office: Gran Torino Sky-Rockets to the Lead

Wow! Who saw this one coming? Gran Torino, in it’s fifth week has jumped to number one on the charts! Last week it was in 14th place and now with a wider release it’s sky-rocketed ahead of all the rest. I was sure that Bride Wars would snatch the number one spot with Hathaway and Hudson in a slapstick comedy with lots of different dress montages. But the people have spoken and for the first time I agree with them! Well done you!
