Max Payne takes the Box Office lead

My prediction that Max Payne would take the lead this weekend in the Box Office looks like it will be correct.
I'm going to have to wait for the statistics to come in Monday for the entire weekend, but according to the pools for Friday, Max Payne is the current #1 movie in America with three other films trailing behind.
W., The Secret Life of Bees, and Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2, 3, 4 in that order) are all pretty close to each other. Any one of these can be the potential #2 by the end of this weekend.

Here are the stats. More news to come! Catch ya' later!
  1. Max Payne (Fox) - $6.75 million
  2. W. (Lionsgate) - $4.3 million
  3. The Secret Life of Bees (Fox Searchlight) - $4 million
  4. Beverly Hills Chihuahua (Disney) - $3.2 million
  5. Body of Lies (Warner Bros) - $2.37 million
  6. Eagle Eye (Dreamworks/Paramount) - $2.2 million
  7. Quarantine (Sony) - $2 million

i suspect the storyline for Max Payne is a lot more exciting when it's happening in the form of a video game... except for those few exciting parts that i already saw in the preview, it was a snoozefest

I have seen a few clips of the film, but hope to be seeing it within the next few days. I have not heard anything really good about it though.
But I enjoyed the game and just have to see how the movie compares to it.
