Jim Carey Wins at Weekend Box Office

by Chris Padgett on Nov.09, 2009, under Favorite Movie

As predicted by yours truly, the new movie from Jim Carey called The Christmas Carol took away top honors at the box office this past weekend. It was a good sign for this new movie as there was some other movies that made debuts on Friday and it wasn’t easy to get number 1 this past weekend. There is a lot of good movies playing in theaters right now, but none of them could catch the new 3D Scrooge movie that started November 6th in theaters across the nation.

Jim Carey - Christmas Carol

 

Number 2 on the box office list was Michael Jackson’s new movie This Is It. His fans continue to buy tickets for his latest work on the big screen and just about anything Michael Jackson is always popular. It is surprising to see Michael Jackson at number 2 with the Fourth Kind making it’s debut in theaters this past weekend. I expected the Fourth Kind to be higher on the box office results, but there was actually 3 movies that did better than it. The Fourth Kind is a true story movie about alien abduction and another true story movie about goatswas the 3rd place finisher at the boxoffices. The Men Who Stare at Goats was inspired by actual events and it’s the number 3 movie in America right now. It should be interesting to see how round 2 does for these two true story movies. 

 

Top 10 Box Office Movies for November 6th Weekend

1. The Christmas Carol

2. This Is It

3. The Men Who Stare at Goats

4. The Fourth Kind

5. Paranormal Activity

6. The Box

7. Couples Retreat

8. Law Abiding Citizen

9. Where the Wild Things Are

10. Astro Boy

 

Does any movies look good on this list to you? I would like to see most of these movies. I would really love a chance to see the new Jim Carey movie in theaters; since it is done in 3-D technology. A Scrooge Movie in 3D sounds like a good one to see and I’m sure it does great justice for the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and the ghost of Christmas Future. This would be my first choice, if I got a chance to go see 1 movie at the theaters right now. My main reason for this decision is because the movie is done in 3-D and I love this type of technology with movies. Paranormal Activity and the 4th Kind are high on my movies to watch list too.

Upcoming Weekend Movies Hot

by Chris Padgett on Nov.03, 2009, under Favorite Movie

We shall see if This Is It can continue at number 1 this weekend as some new movies hit theaters nation wide. The biggest may be The Christmas Carol with Jim Carey. This new 3D movie with Jim Carey should be the new number 1 movie, but we will have to see how some other new comers do too. The Box and The Men Who Stare at Goats are two more new movies people will have to choose from at the theater this weekend. That right there is a nice list of new movies to go along with the new Michael Jackson movie and Paranormal Activity which has done well at the box office the last few weeks. There is still another movie that should draw a lot of interest and it’s The Fourth Kind. This movie may be the next Blair Witch Project as it tries to display itself as a true story movie about alien abduction.

 

Which new movie would you like to see the most?

A. Jim Carey’s Movie The Christmas Carol

B. The Fourth Kind (True Story Movie on Alien Abduction)

C. The Men Who Stare at Goats (Inspired by True Events)

D. The Box (Cameron Diaz Thriller Movie)

 

I think all 4 of these movies would make great choices this weekend. The Christmas Carol has a huge advantage over the other 3; since it would be more suitable for young children. If the kids go to the theaters this weekend; then Jim Carey should easily take the top spot away from the Michael Jackson fans who have packed the theaters for his new movie This Is It. A lot of buzz about the Fourth Kind and if it’s Internet popularity carries over to the box office; then the Fourth Kind should rank 2nd this week at the box offices. It will certainly be interesting to see how this weekend’s top movies play out. Other movies making their debuts will be: Precious; Collapse; and Splinterheads

This Is It – New Michael Jackson Movie

by Chris Padgett on Oct.28, 2009, under Favorite Singer

This Is It - Michael Jackson

Today will be the start of a big two week event for the fans of Michael Jackson. His new movie called This Is It will be playing in theaters across the country for the next two weeks. I’m not sure exactly how this new Michael Jackson movie will go, but it appears to be mostly of footage that was taken at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Jackson was doing rehearsals in L.A.; while he was preparing to go on tour in Europe for his last concert tour called This Is It. I’m sure many Michael Jackson fans will be showing up at theaters to catch the first showing of Michael Jackson’s new movie called This Is It.

The new Jackson movie will be shown in theaters tonight (October 28th) and will run for the next two weeks. Going by this current time frame, I would guess that on November 11th, 2009; this would be your last chance to see the new Michael Jackson movie in theaters. It is a bit unusual to start a new movie in the middle of the week, but this should help theaters to have enough room this weekend, as the rest of the Michael Jackson fans line up to see his new movie. The end date also falls in the middle of the week and November 11th will be on a Wednesday, but this would be two weeks from today. If the schedule calls for 2 weeks or 14 days only; then Tuesday November 10th might be the last time you can see the new Michael Jackson tribute. If you really want to see this movie, you may want to make plans between now and November 10th, so you don’t miss it!
