Aug 11 2008'Dark Knight' Continues Argument That No Other Movies Should Exist
Guess what movies made more or less money than other movies this weekend! I'll just tell you:
1. The Dark Knight - You have to feel bad for every other movie that isn't The Dark Knight right now. You can almost see the guys down at Swing Vote HQ: "God, Batman again!? We could've been eighth!" ($26 million.)
2. Pineapple Express - It's only fair that a stoner comedy, like an actual stoner, would fail to live up to expectations. $22.4 million.
3. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - $16.1 million.
4. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 - $10.8 million, setting a new benchmark for future pant-based movie sequels.
5. Step Brothers - $8.9 million, with attendance still strong among people who don't get sick of anything.

So no comment on the Mummy?

The comment on the mummy was the skate boarding mummy picture. A picture is worth a thousand words, supposedly. Unless it's that one. Then it's about a billion.

I have to hand it to you Watcher, when I clicked on the Mummy link I chuckled. Brilliantly done!

The Mummy would be topping the charts if it was nothing but Jet Li beating the shit out of mummies. On skateboards, of course.
