WEZ Weekend Box Office: March 15th...

A brand new weekly box office review with candy commentary by yours truly...

1) Alice in Wonderland: $62M (2 week total: $209M). Alice was number one for the second week in a row proving that mediocre movies directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp will always make a lot of money despite the fact that they're not very good and Depp hasn't made a surprising choice since the first Pirates movie (which wasn't very good, either).

2) The Green Zone: $14.5M (1st week). Matt Damon stars in this Iraq war movie that was quasi-marketed as a new installment in the Borne franchise. The movie also boasts actors who were actually soldiers who fought in the REAL Iraq war proving that just because you lived it, doesn't mean you can act it.

3) She's Out of My League: $9.6M (1st week). Never heard of it. Next!

4) Remember Me: $8.28M (1st week). Already forgot you.

5) Shutter Island: $8.14M (total $108M). Still want to see this. Heard it's good?

Our Family Wedding also debuted this weekend to a little over 1600 screens pulling in $7.6M and Avatar (no longer being shown in 3D) is still taking in money despite loosing the Best Picture Oscar to The Hurt Locker bringing in $6.6M with a domestic total of a whopping $730M!

Shutter Island is finally going to be released...

Shutter Island is finally going to be released in cinemas this month. After many delays, the new Martin Scorsese picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Michelle Williams will open tomorrow. Because of the delays in release, they have been showing the previews since last summer... how sick of them are you?! Despite the repetitive advertising and all the hype, the film still looks pretty good. Leo, Michelle, and Marty were on hand last night at the world famous Ziegfeld Theatre in NYC to unveil their movie to NY audiences. Here they are looking beautiful at the premier...
