Weekend Box Office

I know it’s Halloween and we’re all getting into the spirit of things, sticking fake meat cleavers into our heads and potentially dressing our male children as Marilyn Monroe, but forty million? Seriously people, hold out for Saw.

Nonetheless, forty million is what The Grudge made, enough to easily propel it into the number one spot, since there was absolutely nothing else in theaters… no Surviving Christmas doesn’t count. The great thing here is that Shark Tale is no longer number one, and thus we are all saved from further ads proclaiming that cinematic travesty the #1 movie in America. Now they’ll just shift to the #1 comedy in America, or maybe #1 fish movie in America, or perhaps #1 not funny movie that your children will hate in America. That last one is a more accurate description.

Here’s your weekend top ten. Note Team America continuing its unjust and undeserved sink to the bottom. You’d think puppets would float…
