He's Just Not That Into Seeing 'Push' This Weekend (Nor Was Anyone Else)
Here's what you were paying to see this weekend:
1. He's Just Not That Into You - $27.5 million, and he's not into you because you're into seeing awful romantic comedies opening weekend.
2. Taken - $20.3 million, only dropping 18% despite the controversial ending where it's revealed Liam Neeson's daughter was never kidnapped; he just didn't have reception when she was calling, and it turns out the entire movie is an AT&T commercial.
3. Coraline - $16.3 million. That might go up next week when Neil Gaiman fanatics aren't busy being dressed up as Sandman for a comic convention.
4. The Pink Panther 2 - $12 million, but imagine how Steve Martin would pronounce that as a French guy! It would probably be really funny.
5. Paul Blart: Mall Cop - $11 million. One more weekend should push it over $100 million, and one more year should push it permanently out of our minds (until Paul Blart: Standard Cop).
