Weekend Wrap Up: Chihuahuas Take it Home
October 6, 2008 by Joe
Well, we went past another weekend… quite uneventful where I was, but nevertheless it seems like it was a solid weekend nationwide. I was pretty surprised that Beverly Hills Chihuahua managed to take the top spot… I really thought that Michael Cera would be able to draw people out to come see Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, but I’m afraid I was mistaken. Eagle Eye also managed to stay strong. Not a good weekend, prediction-wise for me. Here’s how the box office ended up:
| 1 |  |
Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) | $29.3M | $29.3M |
| 2 |  |
Eagle Eye (2008) | $17.7M | $54.6M |
| 3 |  |
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (2008) | $11.3M | $11.3M |
| 4 |  |
Nights in Rodanthe (2008) | $7.37M | $25.1M |
| 5 |  |
Appaloosa (2008) | $5.05M | $5.61M |
| 6 |  |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) | $4.56M | $32.2M |
| 7 |  |
Burn After Reading (2008) | $4.12M | $51.7M |
| 8 |  |
Fireproof (2008) | $3.99M | $12.4M |
| 9 |  |
An American Carol (2008) | $3.66M | $3.66M |
| 10 |  |
Religulous (2008) | $3.41M | $3.43M |
Full of surprises. Just goes to show you that each person’s opinion is different. I’m thinking that a lot of parents found a movie that they’d be ok with their kids seeing, so they decided to bring them out after a few less than stellar films for kids came out. I guess there really hasn’t been much for kids, and it might be something that Hollywood might want to take into consideration. Kids movies should probably be staggered… because a movie every week is probably too much for a parent, but one every other week might be just the escape they’re looking for.
Did you check out anything this weekend?
