Harry Potter Death-Eats The Weekend Box Office
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, we do believe you’ve stumbled upon a clever new tactic. Despite being the worst-received movie of the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince looks set to become the most successful movie in the franchise’s history, topping the weekend box office by some margin. So the worse a Harry Potter film is, the better it does. That’s great news, especially for those of us who wanted part two of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows to feature nothing but Harry Potter staring at a shoebox for three hours and then meekly farting.

Bruno Penetrates The Weekend Box Office
It’s the second-most controversial film of the year - after Paul Blart - but Bruno has aced the weekend box office. Despite attracting waves of controversy based on its edgy subject matter, Bruno - Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up to Borat - has entered the US weekend box office at number one, where it will definitely remain next week even though Harry Potter’s coming out. It just goes to show that Transformers isn’t the only movie that can break records this year - Bruno has officially become the highest-grossing movie ever to feature a talking urethra. Michael Bay, we await your response with baited breath.

Weekend Box Office: It’s Only A Blinking Tie
The July 4 weekend box office is always a big deal. It’s when America comes together and celebrates the birthday of noted French economist Gerard Debreu. And what better way to commemorate the life of the man who so famously revealed that economies have a finite number of price equilibria than by crowning two movies as the weekend box office number one? That’s right, Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen and Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs are both the number one movies at the US weekend box office. It’s all for you, Gerard Debreu.

Weekend Box Office – Transformers 2 Inexplicably Successful
Congratulations Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen - you’ve broken yourself a weekend box office record. What record? Why, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, you’ve broken the weekend box office record for the longest, noisiest film that’s about absolutely nothing at all. And the weekend box office record for having the most painfully racist-seeming characters this side of Jar-Jar Binks. And, somewhat inexplicably, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, you’ve broken the weekend box office record for the year's biggest movie opening. Actually, wait, is that one true? It doesn’t seem like it should be. It is? Really? People are stupid.

The Proposal Hilariously Pretends To Marry The Weekend Box Office
Wow. What a year for comedy it’s been. Arguably one of the most successful weekend box office movies of the summer has been The Hangover. What’s more, there have been guaranteed blockbusters like Land Of The Lost and, um... oh, alright, it hasn’t been much of year for comedy at the weekend box office. Shut up. However, this weekend two comedy heavyweights went up against each other in direct box office competition - Year One and The Proposal. Who won? It’s a secret. Oh alright, The Proposal did. But only because it was marginally less rubbish than Year One. Shut up.

The Hangover Hangs Over The Weekend Box Office
Right, first an admission. The Hangover is the top movie at the weekend box office this week. That’s not the admission. The admission is that The Hangover was also the top movie at the weekend box office last week as well. But we said that it was beaten by Up because the numbers were quite close and nobody worked it out properly for a few days. So sorry. Anyway, The Hangover is the top movie at the US weekend box office this week. Unless there’s been another mistake and really it’s Up. Or Drag Me To Hell. Or ET. Whatever.

Up Beats Off Will Ferrell At The Weekend Box Office
In these days of giant fighting space robots, it's rare for a movie to top the weekend box office for more than a week. But Up's done it. Pixar's heartwarming tale of a little old man who becomes so insane with indescribable grief that he literally has to leave the face of the Earth has remained number one at the US weekend box office. See Dreamworks? This is how you sell a cartoon. Now make sure that Kung Fu Panda 2 ends with the panda developing a harrowing alcohol dependency, and be quick about it. There's money to be made!

Up Goes Up The Weekend Box Office (See What We Did There?)
It’s the summer. And that means that, as weekend box office law states, all films released now must be angry, loud and full of massive robots punching each other. But weekend box office law has another rule for the summer - that Pixar gets to release a new movie, and it’ll make all the other films look a bit silly in comparison. And this year that film is Up, the new US weekend box office number one. What made Up so popular? Was it the groundbreaking technological accomplishments? The mature storytelling? No, it was all the balloons. Balloons are fun. Wheeeee!
