My Favorite Blank

No big surprise last weekend on which movie was the most seen. The box office sales kept going and going for the new Star Trek movie that made a big splash and is now the number 1 movie in America. I haven’t seen it yet, but it does seem to be a good one and the Star Trek fans are pleased. This movie goes back to the early days and you get to look at things from the beginning. I’m sure it’s an interesting movie and even though I’m not a big Star Trek fan, I would like to see the latest movie that started playing in theaters on May 8th.

The number 2 movie and last week’s number 1 is X-Men Origins: Wolverine and this movie is really doing well. The Wolverine is the most popular comic book character ever and this was decided back in March of 2008. It seems movie goers like the Wolverine and they are turning out in bunches to get a look at this one. I would also like to watch the X-Men and see what all the hype is about here. I don’t fully understand the story of the X-Men, but it seems everyone likes this new movie a lot.

The 3rd most popular movie playing in theaters right now is Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. 2nd week in a row that this movie has did well at the box office and it looks like someone finally got a new, creative idea in Hollywood. I do get tired of all the movies that have the same story line and they just have different actors or actresses playing the parts.

Rest of the movies making the top 10:

4. Obsessed

5. 17 Again

6. Next Day Air

7. The Soloist

8. Monsters vs. Aliens

9. Earth

10. Hannah Montana The Movie

I would have thought Next Day Air would have finished higher in the standings, but this just proves how good the movies are right now. It looks like Miley Cyrus barely hung on over the weekend and her new movie Hannah Montana is clinging to the 10th spot. Monsters vs. Aliens has been very strong ever since its release and this movie just keeps racking up the numbers.

Surprisingly Disneynature got the 9th spot on the list with their new movie Earth. This is a documentary and you don’t often see this in the movies. Maybe we have a more educated generation growing up before our eyes and that’s the reason Earth made it up to number 9.

Tom Hanks is the headliner this week and he’s been on all the talk shows and early morning shows promoting his new movie Angels & Demons. I could see this movie jumping over Star Trek for that number 1 position in the box office sales. Tom has did some really great movies in his career and I’m sure this one will be another solid performance from his long list of spectacular movies.

Other movies starting up on Friday will be; The Brothers Bloom; Big Man Japan; The Big Shot Caller; Daytime Drinking; Management; Not Forgotten; and O’Horten.
