Avatar continues to dominate the box office, pulling in another $41 million this past weekend. It has almost as half a billion in just domestic gross and well over a billion internationally. The Book of Eli put up a good fight at number two, pulling in $31.6 million. With it’s new wider release, The Lovely Bones came in at third with just over $17 million. Sherklock Holmes and Alvin and the Chipmunks rounded out the top five, both losing around 400 theaters. Jackie Chan’s latest, The Spy Next Door, came in at a lackluster sixth place. Reviews were terrible so it’s not a surprise. What is kind of surprising is that all the movies the came out last week are already in their death throes, Leap Year is the only one that managed to stay in the top 10 while Daybreakers and Youth in Revolt both fell off.
I'm your main feature writer and co-creator and have a love for all movies from the Oscar darlings to the Bargain Bin rejects.
