Feb 19 2008'Jumper', Lincoln Win President's Day Weekend
1. Jumper - $31.7 million, making it the biggest opening ever for a Third Eye Blind video.
2. The Spiderwick Chronicles - A $24.5 million opening has filmmakers scrambling to put together Spiderwick 2, and to find a way to work Venom in.
3. Step Up 2 the Streets - The competitive dance trend makes a successful, terrifying leap from something lazily watched because it's on after something else to something you leave the house and actually pay for, making $21.5 million.
4. Fool's Gold - Another $15 million, finally covering the film's bronzer budget.
5. Definitely, Maybe - There's no 'maybes' that this $11.4 million opening showed America needed a lighthearted rom-com to get their minds off this war. Y'know what I mean, man?

The filming style of Jumper made me feel like i myself was jumping around... very cool. I hear this movie is based on a young adult's novel.

Wow, there was once decent movie to be seen this weekend and it came in 5th place. Nice job America. I can't wait for the next Larry the Cable Guy movie.

Just like our politics...the masses usually settle for the shit they are given.

I thought you told us some time ago that we should not take into consideration that "The Spiderwick Chronicles" was made by Nick movies and that is was truly a scary movie. I went to see it this past Monday and I loved it. It makes me want to read the books now. But I thought the story was great, the effects were great and the cast was perfect. Now you make fun of it because is made money and came in 2nd to the weekend? Jumper which you ridiculed came in #1 and you are not making fun of it? I don't get it.
