Weekend Box Office

This week’s shock in “SHOCKtober” is that despite rave reviews and good word of mouth, Team America took a back seat in dethrowning Shark Tale. My only guess is that the movie going public is getting sick of mixing politics into their mindless entertainment.

Motorcycle Diaries managed to stay in this week’s list as fellow top ten indies Shaun of the Dead and Woman Thou Art Loosed slowly drop off the radar. Next week, with a Sarah Michelle Gellar fronted horror flick and Affleck & Tony Soprano’s holly jolly Christmas...who knows? Maybe Shark Tale will repeat again. I have no idea anymore. I’m just gonna sit back and anxiously await Saw. Anyways, enough yappin’..Here’s this week’s Top Ten...
