How did Katie Holmes’ new movie, Mad Money do on its first weekend out? After all we saw Katie Holmes almost every day on the television set with one interview or another.
Weekend Book Office Winners
Cloverfield $41 million
This one is scary the folks inside the theater so much that they are feeling faint by the time it is over. This is definitely a movie I want to see. A monster attacks New York, sure it sounds like King Kong but this is an ugly monster that eats everyone.
27 Dresses $22.4 million
She’s always been the bridesmaid but never the bride. What happens though when her little sister gets the man of Jane’s dreams? While she is trying to figure life out, a guy sneaks in and begins to watch Jane. Will she figure this out?
The Bucket List $15.2 million
When Edward finds out he has cancer he makes a list of all the things he and a new found friend make a list of all the things they’ve never done. The plan is to do it all before they “kick the bucket.” What is it you have never tried and would like to before you die? I’d love to go sky-diving.
Juno $10.3 million
Juno, a teenage girl, is bored one day and decides to have sex with her friend, a member of the track team. But she gets pregnant and decides putting the baby up for adoption. She meets a couple that can’t have children themselves and has her parents check them out. Sounds like it could be a tearjerker for me. In the end, by the time Juno’s pregnancy is over she’s grown up a lot more.
National Treasure $8.1 million
National Treasure again, this time Nicolas Cage is out to find a diary and on his search for it he unravels a bit of history for those watching it.
First Sunday $7.8 million
Two best friends are small time criminals, which finally catches up with one of them. Durrell is told if he can’t pay is $17,000 in debt he’ll lose his little boy they decide to rob a church, but they get locked in. What happens after the two men spend the night in a church?
Mad Money $7.7 million
Three women working in a Federal bank and one is desperately in need of money and another gets wind that they are going to have to burn all the old money. Together the three women, Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah and Diane Keaten play the ladies, put together a plan to steal the money. This is sure to be an easy movie to sit through and make you laugh.
Alvin and The Chipmunks $7 million
Remember these cute little Chipmunks from your childhood? They are now hitting the big screen in their brand new remake and it isn’t a cartoon, this is more like the remake of Garfield. I wonder if Chippettes will be created next.
I am Legend $5.1 million
Robert Neville, played by Will Smith, is the last human survivor that wasn’t harmed by a virus that wiped out mankind. He’s constantly giving radio reports in hopes of finding one more survivor that wasn’t touched. Running out of time, Neville must use his own blood to help those that were infected.
Atonement $4.8
Briony tells of a crime that never happened, it was all a misunderstanding between her sister and her sister’s lover that’ll continue throughout the war.
So there ya have it folks, it didn’t rank to terribly bad since it is more of a chick flick and not an action or horror movie. Did you go see it? What was your take on it? I’ll be waiting until it hits DVD, but I’m almost certain I’m sure it’ll be a movie I purchase once I’ve seen it.
