Apr 6 2009Fast/Furious Combination Still Successful
1. Fast and Furious - $72.5 million? That's ridiculous. I swear, it's like no one's seen Vin Diesel drive a sweet car before.
2. Monsters vs. Aliens - $33.5 million, a 44% drop since last week, probably in response to the lackluster ending. The monsters using a laptop to upload a virus into the alien mothership was pretty far fetched. If Macs and PCs aren't even fully compatible, what are the chances we could plug in a Powerbook and upload a functioning virus?
3. The Haunting in Connecticut - $9.6 million. It's just so hard to take a haunting in Connecticut seriously when we now know Connecticut's greatest threat is its psychotic ape population.
4. Knowing - I am slightly disappointed that Adventureland only made $6 million but Nicolas Cage-predicts-disasters-with-numbers still pulled in $8.1 million in its third week. Such is Cage's power.
5. I Love You, Man - Male-on-male non-sexual affection earns another $7.9 million.

As an associate producer for a Connecticut news station, it's nice to know we're still relevant for having killer apes on the loose :-)

What's really amazing..."Taken" finally dropped out of the top ten (it's at 11)...after 10 weeks! It was realease in January and this is April. That's some staying power. $140M...prettay, prettay, prettay good. A good solid movie that delivered the goods without pretension or being drawn out.
