Weekend Box Office: Chick Flicks Rule Taken Drools

Well it looks like the women have decided this weekends box office top film. Never have I seen more hoards of men-less woman (aside from Sex and the City) filling in the theaters to see He’s Just Not That Into You. There are plenty of things for a guy to enjoy in this movie (Scarlett Johnspn with almost nothing on anyone?) but I don’t think they’re willing to risk it. They need to get one to go and the rest will follow. Coraline made it to number three this week, which is pretty damn good for a stop-frame animation. Hell it beat out all the other movies opening this weekend including The Pink Panther 2 and Push.
