'Where the Wild Thing Are' Our Most Popular Weekend Movie
Your weekend box office top five, friends:
1. Where the Wild Things Are - $32.5 million. Man, did this thing ever take me back to childhood. Particularly the parts of my childhood that involved crying and breaking things.
2. Law Abiding Citizen - $21.3 million. Is support for vigilante justice waning? God, I hope not--that's how I get everything done!
3. Paranormal Activity - $20.2 million. I still can't understand how some camcorder footage of a "ghost" shuffling flour around the floor is somehow so much more popular than the YouTube video of myself shuffling flour around the floor.
4. Couples Retreat - $17.9 million, still managing to hold on to enough of the idiots-who-want-to-see-Couples-Retreat demographic.
5. The Stepfather - $12.3 million. Stepfathers just aren't as popular as they used to be. Biological fathers are all the rage now, guys.
