  • I don't know what Hollywood has been complaining about people not going to the movies anymore, because have you seen the top ten movies of the past weekend?

    1. Madea's Family Reunion (2006) $30M
    2. Eight Below (2006) $15.9M
    3. The Pink Panther (2006) $11.1M
    4. Date Movie (2006) $9.13M
    5. Curious George (2006) $7.21M
    6. Firewall (2006) $6.68M
    7. Final Destination 3 (2006) $5.5M
    8. The Magic Roundabout (2005) $3.61M
    9. Running Scared (2006) $3.38M
    10. Freedomland (2006) $2.87M

    Let's see, simple kid movies, silly comedies, and unoriginal thrillers. It looks like people ARE willing to go to the movies, except it isn't the "quality" films that people are willing to go see.  This goes again with what I've been saying for a while now. People can't say that there aren't good movies to watch in theaters, because there are, people just don't want to see them. They'd rather see a man dressed up as an old lady in "Madea's Family Reunion," because they apparently didn't have their fill of watching "Big Momma's House 2," which is also about a man dressed up as an old lady.
