"Madea Goes to Jail" made "The Jonas Brothers" its you-know-what over the weekend. Really slow weekend at that, with low numbers down the board. But "Slumdog Millionaire" is still raking in the dough from its Best Picture (and many other) wins while "Taken" does well because it is just a cool movie.
"Street Fighter" just bombed, tripped, fell and all other sayings that represent and downward spiraling of failure.
This was one of the worst opening weekends since last December, but this weekend has "Watchmen" coming out. What are your predictions on how much it will make?
I'm going to guess at more than $70 million.

Tyler Perry makes bank again with his continuing series of films that I have not seen. But this is his biggest opening debut yet, so I say good job to him.
"Taken" stays at the top where it deserves to be among other films that are out right now.
No one wanted to see "Fired Up" and "Friday the 13th" dropped over 80 percent from what it made last weekend.
And winning eight Oscars should have "Slumdog Millionaire" staying in the top 10 for a few more weeks while people go to see it to see what all the buzz was about.

This week we a videogame adaptation starring Lana from "Smallville" and then the movie that teen girls will rush to. What do you think will become No. 1 next weekend?
Hint: There are more teen girls out there than you actually think there are.

New Street Fighter movie

Did you see the last one? No? Good. Don't.
Now go back to playing Street Fighter 2 and wishing you could shoot fireballs and that you can see a movie about Chun-Li.
Oh wait! Did I mention the new Street Fighter movie is all about Chun-Li?
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

Kristin Kreuk will be playing the role of Chun-Li.
The film will focus on the game's most popular female fighter, Chun Li, but the exact storyline is being kept under wraps.

The film is due out February 27, 2009.



More to come! Catch ya' later!
