2012 Pummels Weekend Box Office Into A Twisted Mess
2012 is the top movie at the weekend box office. And you don't have to be a genius to work out why. Two hours of John Cusack almost being smashed to death by falling rocks? Who wouldn't want to pay good money to see that! Oh, we're just kidding - 2012 is top of the weekend box office because it deals with the growing worry that the Mayan calendar was right and that the world will end in 2012. And it probably will. After all, the Mayans were right about men originally evolving from mud, weren't they? And about rain being a giant flying snake's dribble. Nice one Mayans, you dead idiots.

A Christmas Carol Reminds Weekend Box Office Of Death
Merry Christmas, everyone! Ho ho ho! What did you get for Christmas? Anything good? Did it snow? Ho ho ho! Ho ho... hang on a minute. It isn't Christmas. It isn't anywhere remotely near Christmas. It's barely November. We haven't even started to build up our reserve of goodwill towards all men yet. In fact, we still think most men are wankers. So why is A Christmas Carol the number one movie at the weekend box office? Because it's not very good and everyone's trying to get it out of the way early so that it doesn't bugger up everyone's Christmas? Oh, right.

Michael Jackson’s This Is It Heals The Weekend Box Office
Obviously Michael Jackson's new film This Is It would top the weekend box office this week. Obviously. It had everything going for it. Michael Jackson's millions of fans are using This Is It as a way to pay tribute to his life. Plus This Is It will only be exhibited theatrically for two weeks, so everyone will see it at the same time. Plus no other big films opened on Friday, giving This Is It a clear path to weekend box office glory. Also, given the choice between This Is It and Law Abiding Citizen, who wouldn't choose the harrowing documentary about the painfully thin spectre-like drug addict in the silly wig?

Paranormal Activity Makes Weekend Box Office Wet Itself
The number one movie at the weekend box office contains terrifying footage of a freakish undead figure. No, not This Is It. That comes out on Wednesday. We’re talking about Paranormal Activity - the film that was made for $11,000, is widely referred to as ‘the scariest film ever made’ and has gradually been climbing the weekend box office chart as word of mouth about it grew. Best of all, Paranormal Activity has beaten the latest Saw movie at the weekend box office, too. So here’s hoping that a new, incrementally rubbisher, Paranormal Activity movie gets released every year to help us forget how good the first one was, too! Hooray!

Where The Wild Things Are Starts The Weekend Box Office Rumpus
Today’s edition of the weekend box office countdown is brought to you with a side helping of tremendous bitterness.

And yet we can’t see it until almost Christmas. Because it’s not being released over here until December. Stupid Britain. So no Where The Wild Things Are spoilers please. Especially no spoilers about the temperature of the soup at the end of the film. We mean it.

Zombieland Eats The Weekend Box Office’s Brain
Big week for the weekend box office this week - just look at all the incredible films that were released on Friday. There was Michael Moore’s latest, searingly topical, effort. Drew Barrymore’s debut as a director. The latest breathlessly-anticipated movie by The Coen Brothers. That Ricky Gervais film that’s garnered glowing reviews from all corners. Which one of these equally worthy new releases ended up topping the US weekend box office chart? Oh, it was Zombieland. A film about Woody Harrelson shooting a bunch of zombies while wearing a funny hat. Of course - why didn’t we think of that?

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Still Weekend Box Office #1
Why didn't we see this coming? What are the two things that people love more than anything else? That's right. Meteorology and mechanically-reclaimed meatstuffs. And that's why Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is the weekend box office number one again. It's not because no good films were released this week, or because all people are stupid. It's because Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs finally combined the public's twin loves of overcast weather and globs of nonspecific meat. Or not. Look, it's a cartoon about meatballs. We're finding it hard to care about this one, to be honest.
