Box Office Review: Sandler still defying logic, taste
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry eked out a win this weekend, just besting Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The moronic Sandler vehicle earned 34.7 million versus 32.1 million for the latest, infinitely superior Harry Potter installment (now at 207.5M). My guess is that the release of Deathly Hallows cost Order of the Phoenix a second consecutive weekend crown (I still can't believe that Voldermort turned out to be Harry's father!). The other new wide release, Hairspray, pulled in a decent 27.8 million. Travolta is back! Again.
Transformers edged closer to the elusive 300 million dollar mark, totalling 20.5 million for a new cume of 262.9 million. After that it was Ratatoille (11.0M, 165.6M), Live Free or Die Hard (7.3M, 116.4M), License to Wed (3.7M, 38.6M), 1408 (2.6M, 67.5M), Evan Almighty (2.4M, 93.4M) and--in its eighth week in the top 10--Knocked Up (2.3M, 142.7M). The week's two new indie releases had markedly different fates. Sunshine surprised to the upside with a $23,500 per screen average, while Goya's Ghosts was dead on arrival, averaging only $3,408.

Never let it be said that sarcasm is a lost art. Do you feel that? It's your leg being pulled.

I still can't believe Josh Tate turns out to be a legit journalist !....(this will have as much truth as Valdermort being Harry Potters father)

God damn, you people are testy. If that wasn't an obvious fake spoiler, I don't know what to tell you. Incidentally, the real shocker for me in Deathly Hallows was the soon-to-be-infamous karaoke scene.

you people really thought he was serious?? you deserve to be fooled.

dude....fake spoilers are hilarious, imho. in fact, fake spoilers protect against real spoilers. the more there are, the less you'll be able to distinguish the real from the fake, and thus will be left guessing even if you saturate yourself with media! brilliant.
