Monday Morning Box Office: National Treasure 2 is garbage, but you still wanted to see it.



The numbers:

#1. National Treasure 2 - $20.1m - The third week that this film has topped the charts. I could go on about how this is exactly like the first film, but you all didn't care when Malibu Stacy got her new hat either. And because Diane Kruger is in it, I have posted a picture for you to look at. Enjoy.

#2. Juno - $15.9m -One of the best films of 2007 expanded beautifully into about 1900 screens and is primed to become Fox Searchlight's biggest movie ever. So there, I dropped your name, Fox Searchlight. I would love a Juno T-shirt to add to my collection. Thank you. OR, how's this for an idea: Badass Cinema shirts with preggers Juno on the front?

#3. I am Legend - $15.7m - He is Will Smith, he pulls in the dolla bills. And the movie looks good on the big screen, so that's a bonus.

#4. Alvin & The Chipmunks - $15.5m - Because kids are not into the far superior "The Water Horse", instead money is being thrown away at CG chipmunks. I'm still not getting the success story behind the film, and I don't know whether to blame the kids or the parents allowing them to watch it.

#5. One Missed Call - $12.5m - So I'm guessing after this movie made a miniscule profit in theatres and Blu-Ray, Takashi Miike's "Audition" will be remade, entitled "Deeper", with no chicken wire involved to get a PG-13 rating.
