We have two new movies on top this week [full report here]. It was very close but "Takers" came in at number one earning $20.5 million in its opening weekend while "The Last Exorcism" came in at number two with $20.36 million. "Takers" to me doesn't seem like it has much staying power [but Chris Brown may fight to keep the movie on top]. "The Unorigina..." excuse me, "The Last Exorcism" doesn't seem that amazing but I have heard and read that it is actually pretty good.
"Lottery Ticket" debuted at number four last week and promptly dropped out of the top ten. I am hoping "Vampires Suck" follows. "The Expendables" [number one the last two weeks] pulled in $9.5 million this weekend to hold the number three spot. "Inception" actually rose two spots to number seven this week with $4.9 million in earnings to brings its total to $270.5 million in seven weeks of release. I am surprised to see "Inception" do so well considering gems like "Eat Pray Love" and "The Switch" are still out, positions number three and nine, respectively.
Overall, it seemed like a pretty slow weekend in the theaters and I expect these movies and their earnings to be pretty fluid in the coming two or three weeks. Perhaps we should start an Internet movement to get an unexpected movie to number one next week. "Nanny McPhee Returns" is my choice.
