Weekend Box Office Wrap Up: I suck...but less than Saw

If you're wondering, the limit on how many times you can milk the cash cow before it dies, the answer is 6. Saw took a big old face dump this weekend, spilling from it's usual $30 million opening to just under half that, likely because someone finally wisely challenged it with another horror movie. David (Paranormal Activity) slew Goliath (Saw)...only there were no larger religious implications and we're all going to go right on living our lives. Hopefully this means next year we get a little more variety in our October...but I'm guessing probably just Paranormal Activity 2 and Saw VII.

Here's the weekend's results, haiku style:

1.) Paranormal Activity - $22 million (Accuracy of prediction - 85%)

Made for 10 thousand.
This may make 100 mil.
...I'd say that's okay.

2.) Saw VI - $15 million (Accuracy of prediction - 64%)

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Sorry, but this makes me smile.
Booooo makers of crap!

3.) Where the Wild Things Are - $14.5 million (Accuracy of prediction - 95%)

It's not quite a hit
but it's in no way failing.
Not bad for good art.

4.) Law Abiding Citizen - $13 million (Accuracy of prediction - 84%)

It's just like Taken.
I should have seen this coming.
Damn you, Jamie Foxxxxxxxxx

5.) Couples Retreat - $11 million (Accuracy of prediction - 0%)

Vince Vaughan is the king...
of the mainstream comedy.
Sorry Will Ferrell.

Overall accuracy of prediction - 67%

What a sad effort.
The only thing worse than this?
The Chicago Bears.

That's it! Happy Monday!
