We had a long weekend this past week but it doesn't look like many people went to the movies [full report can be found here]. The American debuted at the number one position grossing a paltry $13.2 million. This film, despite mixed reviews, seems to have a lot of potential, with Anton Corbijn directing and a relatively unknown actor named George... Something in the lead role. Machete, with $11.4 million in earnings this weekend came in at number two in its debut.
The creatively-named Going the Distance debuted in the five spot with $6.9 million behind last week's number one, Takers, and The Last Exorcism, respectively. In other news, enough people went and saw Eat Pray Love to earn it another $4.8 million and give it the number eight spot. That's right. Somehow that movie is still allowed to be shown in theaters.
Human rights advocates applauded moviegoers this weekend as Vampires Suck dropped out of the top ten as the ritualistic suicide of cinema faded away, for now. [Don't drink the kool-aid = don't watch Vampires Suck].
