Christmas darling Marley & Me had a second strong week as it easily won the box-office race again ($24M/$106.5M). Bedtime Stories surged ($20.3M/$85.3M) ahead of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ($18.4M/$79M) while Valkyrie enjoyed a strong weekend, too ($14M/$60.6M). After that it was the very unfunny Yes Man ($13.8M/$79.4M), the awfully shitty Seven Pounds ($10M/$60M) and the cute-ish The Tale of Despereaux ($7M/$43.7M).
Doubt enjoyed another strong weekend ($5M/$18.7M) as attendance dropped a miniscule 5% week-over-week. Morons are still seeing The Day the Earth Stood Still ($4.8M/$74.2M). At least, other folks are spending good money on Slumdog Millionaire ($4.7M/$28.7M). In limited release, Defiance was the only newcomer ($60,500 per theater) though the segment stayed strong with Gran Torino ($33,571), Revolutionary Road ($25.763) and The Wrestler ($24,000).

Hey, I liked Seven Pounds:)
But man, Marley still at the top? ugh
I gotta go with Zach on this one, and even wrote a favorable review of Seven Pounds.
Seriously though, I think we're all missing the bigger issue here:
Who is ready for MALL COP?!
I'm not so sure about Mall Cop, but maybe you know something I don't: are we expecting it to be a stoner classic?
As a hater of all things Will Smith, I have to give a thumbs-down to Seven Pounds. It would have been better if Will Smith's organs really were harvested.
