Talking Animals Proven Popular Once Again

Movies remained a popular form of entertainment this last weekend. Here is a listing of how many dollars the five most popular made:

1. Beverly Hills Chihuahua - $29 million, handily beating every movie without CGI talking dogs.

2. Eagle Eye - $17.7 million, which is worse than the talking dog movie.

3. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - $12 million, way less than the movie where dogs talk.

4. Nights in Rodanthe - $7.4 million, suggesting the stars of this film were probably humans rather than, say, talking dogs.

5. Appaloosa - $5 million? Hey, guys, how about adding some talking dogs to the mix and making some real scratch, know what what I'm sayin'? Or at least a white hot romance between two consenting middle-aged adults, which is also a more profitable formula.

Incidentally, Blindness came in 12th with only $2 million, so I guess the protest worked to keep that one down. As did very bad reviews.
