Top 10 Movies for the last weekend in July.
1. Inception
2. Dinner for Schmucks
3. Salt
4. Despicable Me
5. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
6. Charlie St. Cloud
7. Toy Story 3
8. Grown Ups
9. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
10. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Have you seen any of these top 10 movies? All of them are currently playing in most theaters nation wide. I haven’t seen any of them yet. The one I see being advertised the most on television, is the one called Dinner for Schmucks. This comedy does look pretty funny and I think I would enjoy watching it.
I recently saw the first Twilight movie. I thought it was an excellent movie and puts the fictional town of Forks, Washington on the map. Or is there really a town in Washington called Forks? It’s true, there is a town in Washington that goes by the name Forks and I’m sure the whole town is behind all of the great Twilight movies.
I believe there have been 3 Twilight movies done so far? Is this correct? I’m not sure what the 2nd Twilight movie is called. Maybe one of my readers can help me with that one. I think the 3rd Twilight movie is Eclipse and it is currently playing in theaters. It just barely hung on to the top 10 list for the July movies in their final week.
I look forward to some great movies coming out in August. I think fans will be excited too; when they get a chance to preview some of these new movies. I will talk more about the new August movies in a later blog post. Please let know any other information, about these exciting movies that go by the name of Twilight. The first Twilight movie is a must-see movie for everyone. I really enjoyed it and I think most people would. Now I need to go learn more about the number 1 movie Inception. I want to see what the Inception movie is about and if I might want to see it one day.
New Movies Topping the Box Offices
by Chris Padgett on Dec.01, 2009, under Favorite Movie
It’s been a good season for movies. Some really good movies are now playing and this would be a good time to take the family to the theaters. I know there is at least a half of dozen movies I would like to see right now. I’m sure you have 1 or 2 that you would like to go and watch too. Here is the way the movies came out of the box offices this past weekend:
1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
2. The Blind Side
3. 2012
4. Old Dogs
5. Disney’s A Christmas Carol
6. Ninja Assassin
7. Planet 51
8. Precious
9. Fantastic Mr. Fox
10. The Men Who Stare at Goats
The most attractive movie on the top 10 list is 2012 to me. I think this would be right up my alley. I love the Aztecs Calendar and how it predicts the end of time. Apparently our world is going to end in another 2 years in December of 2012. This movie touches on that historic calendar made by the Aztec people. The movie playing at theaters is not a true story, but does mix a blend of truth and non-fiction together and gives us a scenario for our last day on the planet Earth. Do you think the world will end in December 2012? I guess no one really knows the answer to it, but it has sure done well at the box offices and this new movie 2012 is going to be a heavily watched movie for the next month at theaters. Do you see any other movies on the top 10 box office list that you would like to go see? There are a couple of movies that are based on true stores like the Blind Side and the Men Who Stare at Goats. I would like to watch both of these movies. The true story movies are the best ones and Hollywood needs more of these types of movies.
Star Trek Tops Box Office Sales
by Chris Padgett on May.13, 2009, under Favorite Movie
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.
Top Movies at the Box Office
by Chris Padgett on May.04, 2009, under Favorite Movie
The top 10 list at movie theaters are being shook up and lots of surprises. I think Hannah Montana’s new movie is the biggest one and it has fallen to number 7 on the list after only 3 weeks. I would have thought this movie would have stayed closer to number 1, but seems fans are not paying to see Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus.
The movies that movie goers are going to see right now is X-Men, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and Obsessed. These are the top 3 movies to watch right now and they took home the top honors at the box office this past weekend. I’m sure X-Men will do well again this weekend and I expect another strong showing for this new movie.
The comedy movie of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past did very well with a 2nd place showing. This movie features Matthew McConaughey and Jenifer Garner. I would think any movie with the lovely Jennifer Garner would do well and this one certainly did. I’m sure Warner Brothers is very happy with the 15 plus million dollars this movie took in over the weekend.
Obsessed prove to be a great movie in its debut going to number 1. The top movie in America drop back to the 3rd spot this past week. This movie is in the thriller category and takes a reverse approach on stalking. We often think of men as the stalkers out there, but this new movie gives the woman the lead ropes. A nice and successful working man getting stalked by a female is what people want to see right now and this movie has been very impressive at theaters. I think the new movie Obsessed would be my first choice, if I was going to the theater this evening.
Top 10 Movies at the Box Office
1. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
2. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
3. Obsessed
4. 17 Again
5. Monsters vs. Aliens
6. The Soloist
7. Hannah Montana The Movie
8. Earth
9. Fighting
10. State of Play
Those are the top 10 movies currently playing at theaters nationwide. Does any of them look good to you?
These movies will have to make way for a new number 1 movie in America this Friday. I’m sure Star Trek will take first honors after the dust settles this weekend. This is going to be a big splash at movie theaters all over the country. I can guarantee that Star Trek will be the number 1 movie at the box office and the only question is; which movie will finish in 2nd place? Are you a Star Trek fan or a Trekie? I know there are a lot of you out there and this popular science fiction program has been gaining a fan base for over 40 years now. Star Trek started in the 60′s and many fans have been watching it ever since. No doubt about this one on May 8th and Star Trek will easily soar to number 1.
If you’re more in the comedy mood this weekend, you can check out another movie making its debut. It is called Next Day Air and this movie should do well this weekend also. Possibly the type of movie that could be number 1, but not a number 1 movie, when it has to open on the same day the new Star Trek movie does.
Enjoy the movies and let me know of the ones you’re watching. I always love to hear recommendations for a great movie you just seen in theaters or to give me the heads up about a bad movie.
Last Week: Top 10 Movies Playing
by Chris Padgett on Apr.03, 2009, under Favorite Movie
1. Monsters vs. Aliens
2. The Haunting in Connecticut
3. Knowing
4. I Love You, Man
5. Duplicity
6. Race to Witch Mountain
7. 12 Rounds
8. Watchmen
9. Taken
10. The Last House on the Left
A jammed pack movie list that is providing movie goers with top notch entertainment; which top 10 movie from last week’s box office results would you like to see the most? I think the 10th place movie The Last House on the Left is as appealing as any of the other 10 movies making the list. I wouldn’t mind seeing any of these top 10 movies currently playing in theaters. I don’t think you can pick a bad movie right now and everything seems positive at the movies right now.
These 10 movies won’t stay in the top 10 next week and they will have to make room for new movies that may make their way into the top 10 this weekend. I’m sure Fast and Furious that starts playing in theaters today will be a hot ticket this weekend. I see this movie being a top 10 attraction this weekend at the box office. Other movies starting today are Adventureland, Alien Trespass, Bart Got a Room, and several others making their debut.
The debut of the new movie Fast and Furious will make things more crowded at the top and some really good movie won’t show up next week in the standings. There might be other new movies that push out some winners from last week’s results too. It might be tough choosing just one movie to watch this weekend, but you should get to see a good movie, no matter which one you select. Let me know if you have seen any of these movies yet or the ones you plan to watch in the near future.
