The moronic High School Musical 3 dipped badly in its second week of release but still managed to top the box office this weekend ($15M/$61.7M) as it easily bested funny-ish newcomer Zack and Miri Make a Porno ($10.6M). Saw V also plummeted in frame #2 but still managed to haul in an undeserved $10.1M ($45.8M) from an assortment of psychopaths and degenerates. After that it was Clint Eastwood's disappointing Changeling ($9.4M/$10M) and the, uh, unhaunting The Haunting of Molly Hartley ($6M).
The bottom half of the top 10 was led by the freakishly successful Beverly Hills Chihuahua ($4.7M/$84M) followed by the morbidly uplifting The Secret Life of Bees ($4M/$25.2M), the glossy, empty Max Payne ($3.7M/$35.5M), the worthless Eagle Eye ($3.4M/$92.5M) and the decent Pride and Glory ($3.2M/$11.6M). My Name is Bruce had an excellent start in limited release ($18,800 per theater) while The Matador did okay ($7600) and The Other End of the Line ($626) and Eden Lake ($550) both bombed. Gingers rule!

Kinda-funny? Zach and Miri was great.
More importantly Josh, Quantum of Solace exploded in Europe where it premiered a week before it comes to the states! This Bond film is going to be phenomenal!
i love you VANESSA!
I wonder how many more people are seeing HSM3 because they've seen the full frontal Vanessa H. pictures.
Zack & Miri was great - but at my show - at 4pm Sat - there was a 5/6 year old boy with whom I can only imagine were his late teen parents (well, she was young, but the "thug" w/her was in his 20s).
That's right 5/6 years old. I wanted to ask his parents if the little boy got the "Shut your mouth before I fuck it" title, but they ran out of the theaters when the lights came on, plus I didn't want to get stabbed.
At least the 1 year old during Rob Zombie's Halloween last year was too young to be able to understand anything (though I still expressed my "great fucking parenting" saying to them). 5/6 years old? Really?
I had the opposite problem at Zack & Miri. An elderly couple left during the inadvertent scat scene. The wife speeded out looking straight ahead, while the husband--80ish--looked back till the last second.
a lot of buzz from quantom of solace is saying it doesn't compare to casino royale...just frenetic mindless action.
