This weekend was a serious bummer at the box office if you ask me. Critics and audiences across the board were not so thrilled with either movies in the number one or two spot. "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" and "Legend of the Guardians" both failed miserably at breaking any opening night or weekend records. "Legend of the Guardians" really has to work to try and recoup the estimated $165 million it racked up in production costs. World wide it barely cleared $20 million over the weekend. Michael Douglas' ex-wife really won't have much to put in the bank because "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" took in a measly $19 million domestically and $8 million in the foreign market bringing its total revenue to just about $27 million. "The Town" and "Easy A" held their grounds in the number three and four spots with "The Town" raking in a little over $16 million and "Easy A" just over $10 million. In the fifth spot is the forgettable "You Again" which raked in $8 million over the weekend and ten dollars of that revenue I would gladly appreciate being refunded to my credit card. Even Bette White could not save this tepid, useless, humorless piece of trash project that had me glimpsing at my cell phone nearly every ten minutes to see how much more I had to endure. This is a great example of using an icon of the big screen to salvage one of the most flawed movie productions ever made. Alan Fickman should have left poor Bette out of that movie and maybe included Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson again, atleast then we would have expected a terrible movie.
So that's the review of this weekend at the movies, hopefully we'll have something better to look forward to next weekend, we can hope.
