Latest Results from the Box Office
by Chris Padgett on May.25, 2009, under Favorite Movie
The top movies now playing at theaters are as follows:
1. Night at the Museum
2. Terminator Salvation
3. Star Trek
4. Angels & Demons
5. Dance Flick
These are the movies people wanted to see over the Memorial Day weekend. I’m sure there was an increase in sales across the board as the longer weekends usually give people more time to watch a good movie. These movies look pretty good judging by the previews and it should be interesting to see which ones remain in the top 5.
The Night at the Museum looks like a funny movie. It also has a very interesting appeal to see all of these characters from the past come to life for one night. I guess it is just for one night based on the title of the movie, but I haven’t gone to see this one yet. It did very well over the long weekend and this was the top movie in America that people wanted to see.
Monsters vs. Aliens didn’t make the top 5 at the box office, but this movie has did better than any other movie in 2009 so far. It does remain in the top 10 box office sales and it finished at number 9 for this past weekend. The X-Men movie is also staying strong at theaters and it placed in the 6th position.
I hope I get the chance to go see some good movies soon, because this has been a great year to visit a theater or the drive-in for a top notch movie. I haven’t been to a good drive-in since I was a kid. I would like to visit one that is located about 60 miles from me. I think they only show the older movies at this drive-in that is located in Blue Ridge, Georgia. I will have to double check on that or if there is anyone that lives around the North Georgia mountains could tell me if the drive-in located in Blue Ridge shows recent movies or movies that have been out for a year or so.
Two new movies start this weekend that might challenge these top 5 movies. Up and Drag Me to Hell look like solid contenders. Also starting this weekend will be Departures, Pontypool, Pressure Cooker, and What Goes Up. Let me know if any of these new movies coming out interests you. I have watched a few previews on television about these new movies and one or two of them do look like they would be good. Enjoy your visits to the theater or the drive-in this week and be sure to let me know what you go to see.
