The Covenant Inexplicably Tops US Weekend Box Office

Sometimes people just don’t learn, do they? Take The Covenant, for example. The Covenant seems like the worst straight-to-video mess of a supernatural thriller ever, and it’s still managed to reach number one at the US weekend box office.

Let’s look at the statistics for The Covenant, shall we? The Covenant is a godawful, TV pilot-looking movie about blandly attractive witches and warlocks being all two-dimensional to each other that’s directed by King Of Bad Movie Directors Renny Harlin and received an unusually minuscule 8% on Rottentomatoes. And you people, you deliriously foolish people, have put The Covenant at number one in the US weekend box office. Still, given the choice between that and a film with Ben Affleck in it, you’d pick The Covenant too, wouldn’t you?
