Movies coming out this week!
Race to Witch Mountain - When a cab driver (Johnson) picks up an unusual fare -- a brother and sister duo with paranormal powers, who are being pursued by a nefarious organization -- he teams up with a discredited astrophysicist (Gugino) to protect the kids and, ultimately, the rest of humankind.
The Last House on the Left - After kidnapping and brutally assaulting two young women, a gang led by a prison escapee (Dillahunt) unknowingly finds refuge at a vacation home belonging the parents of one of the victims -- a mother (Potter) and father (Goldwyn) who devise an increasingly gruesome series of revenge tactics.
Miss March - Waking up from a four-year coma, Eugene (Cregger) takes a cross-country trip with his sex-crazed best friend (Moore) in order to crash a party at a famous men's magazine's legendary headquarters so he can win back his former sweetheart -- who is one of the mag's hottest new pin-ups.

"Watchmen" did not meet the success of the studio estimates, which was around $70 million. This may be due to the long running time and causing the film to not have as many showings as other movies, but hopefully it won't tank much in the second week. Otherwise this film will be considered a bomb.
Everything else didn't even make it past $10 million. Other films stayed pretty much in the Top 10 (except "Street Fighter" bombed so bad it was at No. 14). "Jonas Brothers" also fell down 77 percent. Fans have showed their vote. The like Hannah Montana better.
Notice "Taken" hasn't left the Top 5 since its stateside debut in January? Yeah, it is a good movie.
"Mall Cop" has been a profitable movie. Its profit is currently at five times it production rate. Sequel anyone?
Next week we have some interesting movies coming out. Will one dethrone "Watchmen" or will the gritty comic movie stay the king?
