Whenever a mega-hit comes along reporting on box office gets yet duller. How many times can the internets type "SHATTERING RECORDS!" There aren't enough thesauri in the world to rescue us. I've tried goosing the box office column up with cartoons, illustrations, and extra lists so that The Film Experience retains its air of not phoning this in! So begone repetitive top ten chart. Let it suffice to say that the box office looked something like this over the weekend...
- THE AVENGERS
- Unauthorized Transformers Sequel
- Outrageous Antics of Sacha Baron Cohen III
- Marketing Hooks
- Old Ladies
- Movies
- Movies only New Yorkers and Los Angelenos are allowed to see for some reason
Next week is a holiday weekend. Can The Avengers withstand the onslaught of Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin as Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black III for a fourth weekend on the top of the mountain of money? Stay tuned!
Did you see a movie this weekend?
