Box Office Results and Weekly Movie News

Movies coming out this week!

Terminator Salvation - John Connor (Bale) is joined in his attempt to defeat Skynet and its army of Terminators by Marcus Wright (Worthington), a man who apparently has been rescued from the past, though Connor wonders if instead he's been sent from the future as a foil to his plan. As Connor and Wright push deep into the heart of Skynet, they get closer and closer to learning the secret behind the organization's mission to wipe humankind off the planet.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - Security guard Larry Daley (Stiller) infiltrates the Smithsonian Institute in order to rescue Jedediah (Wilson) and Octavius (Coogan), who have been shipped to the museum by mistake.

Dance Flick - Street dancer Thomas Uncles (Damon Wayans, Jr.) is from the wrong side of the tracks, but his bond with the beautiful Megan White (Shoshana Bush) might help the duo realize their dreams as the enter in the mother of all dance battles.

Box Office results for the weekend!

2 Star Trek $43.0 M

3X-men Origins: Wolverine$14.8 M

4 Ghosts of Girlfriends Past $6.8 M

5Obsessed $4.5 M

7 Monsters vs. Aliens $3.0 M

9Next Day Air $2.2 M

10Earth (2009) $1.6 M

"Angels and Demons" won out the battle for the weekend but "Star Trek" comes in at a really close second. "Wolverine" just keeps dropping (probably because of the poor reviews) and will most likely cash in on DVD money now.

Other films continue to fall down the ladder, but next this week we have two big contenders. I predict "Terminator" to win out the weekend with "Night at the Museum" to come in second. "Star Trek" might stay up and wind up being higher than "Angels and Demons" unless positive word of mouth helps out the new Tom Hanks movie.
