Holy Box Office BUCKS, Batman!

Yes, while I normally post the figures on Mondays, this week it kinda escaped me a bit but at the same time, I couldn’t not just skip it no matter that it’s Wednesday.  I mean…look at the madness that is Batman: The Dark Knight.  WOW!  Most films don’t gross those kinds of figures for weeks, if at all!  I’m impressed.  You should be too.  Really.

Mama Mia didn’t do too badly either for its first week.  Actually, with the buzz behind Meryl Streep’s vocal performance in the movie, it’s not that surprising that it was able to conquer the box office with the kind of figures under “normal” circumstances.  Perhaps, Batman was all hype with the buzz about Heath Ledger’s performance (which in my opinion was absolutely stunning) but if you notice my review below, it’s THAT good of a movie.

Hancock is still holding on to the Top 5 at the #3 position.  Don’t know much about Journey.  Not even sure it’s worth the $8.50 (or is it $9) ticket.  Hellboy I won’t even dignify with a comment. 

Looking forward to seeing Mia this weekend.  Will have my review up next week.  Be on the look out for it.

Until next time, see YOU at the movies!

Lisa :)
