Box Office Results and Weekly Movie News

Movies coming out this week!

Confessions of a Shopaholic - Charming Manhattanite Rebecca Bloomwood (Fisher) is an out-of-control spender/fashionista, so it's a bit ironic when she lands a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine, and she becomes an instant celebrity -- complete with access to all the fabulous things she so desires. But will her compulsive habits ruin her career, and her new-found romance?

The International - Interpol Agent Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) and Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts) pool their resources in an attempt to break up an international arms dealing ring financed by a high-profile bank.

Friday the 13th - A group of young adults discover a boarded up Camp Crystal Lake, where they soon encounter Jason Voorhees (Mears) and his deadly intentions.

"He's Just Not That Into You" exceeds as the latest in a series of chick flicks to be shown in these slow months in the beginning of the year, and it seems a lot of women out there will just flock to them. Then again...I am a male writer, so I could be biased, but at least I realize this while others do not.

"Taken" stays at the top too, only dropping 17 percent since last weekend. That is great since most films usually drop over 50 percent.

"Coraline" and "Pink Panther 2" both opened over the weekend and the clay made film did fairly well considering it might be too frightening for children. "Pink Panther 2" dropped 40 percent from the opening of the first film in the fracnhise.

The rest of the films are rehashes from previous weekends except for "Push," which is low on the numbers and might not survive into next weekend. "Slumdog Millionare" is at $118m on a budget of $15m, and this is before it is going to win Best Picture and get released on DVD. So yes, that means it is doing well. "Gran Torino" is still on the Top 10 since Jan. 9, which is over a month ago. Which means people like it, it is good and you should see it.

Next month, another chick flick, a thriller and a horror film. Take you picks for Valentine's Day weekend and find the results here!
