"Up" is this weeks champ... again!

Hello folks and good morning on a beautiful Monday. Looks like "Up" is the little movie that could... or big budget movie that could, either way. "Up" is the champ again this week at the box office which isn't a huge surprise. The movie had great numbers last week and the word of mouth and positive reviews are all to blame. This week, we had a couple of new comers to the top ten, including "The Hangover" and "Land of the Lost". "The Hangover" did very well for its first week out. Being that it earned an "R" rating, 40+ million is very good. Number three this week was the less than successful "Land of the Lost". I love Will Ferrell and love Danny McBride even more. You don't know who Danny McBride is just yet, but for all you HBO fans, remember this name: Kenny Powers! 'Land' had poor reviews and is a remake of the tv show by the same name, decades ago. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't want to give a full review, but to be honest I don't have any real desire to watch this film. The rest of the top ten are listed below... see you shortly.



1. "Up," $44.2 million.

2. "The Hangover," $43.3 million.

3. "Land of the Lost," $19.5 million.

4. "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," $14.7 million.

5. "Star Trek," $8.4 million.

6. "Terminator Salvation," $8.2 million.

7. "Drag Me to Hell," $7.3 million.

8. "Angels & Demons," $6.5 million.

9. "My Life in Ruins," $3.2 million.

10. "Dance Flick," $2 million.
