Box office numbers for this past weekend:
#1 “Wild Hogs” ($38 million)
#2 “Zodiac” ($13.1 million)
#3 “Ghost Rider” ($11.5 million)
#4 “Bridge to Terabithia” ($8.5 million)
#5 “The Number 23” ($7 million)
I don’t get out to very many movies these days and, as usual, the options are pretty piss poor to begin with, but the fact that Wild Hogs is the number one film in the country this week, grossing more than twice as much as Zodiac is surely a sign that we deserve the president that we have and that we’re a nation of morons. You may now resume drooling on yourself.
Hey at least they’re not flocking to see how many ways you can put 2 and 3 together and come up with other numbers. I just watched The Prestige and Nacho Libre on dvd, and I recommend both on their various merits.
It would be cool to have a top box office for Austin. With the Alamos and the Dobie I’m sure we’d show some cultural superiority with our taste in film.
