Weekend Box Office

Summer's almost gone, and soon our numbers will turn golden and fall off the tree.

The thing about Las Vegas is, they don't have a lot of top-quality movie theatres in that town. This must explain why box office is down last week... everyone has gone to Sin City. (Crackpot theory. Truth is, I really wanna go there. Probably September.) A buncha movies opened this week, and nothing cleared $17 mil. Know what? I'm tired. Read for yourself.
