I. AM. BEOWULF! Or was it the promise of a naked Angelina Jolie that lured so many people to the box office this weekend, kicking Bee Movie out of the top spot with $28 mil? Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium didn't seem to seduce the kids very much, grossing only $10 mil and debuting at #5. I guess romantics weren't too keen on catching Love in the time of Cholera, since it debuted at #10 with almost $2 mil. But it didn't do as badly as Southland Tales, which only grossed $134,000. Margot at the Wedding faired better considering it was only released in 2 theaters, grossing $83,000. Fred Claus is still hanging in there at #4 and No Country for Old Men jumped up 8 spots to #7 with close to $5 mil. Game Plan finally retired, dropping out of the top 10 with $84 mil, securing The Rock's place in kiddie Hall of Fame. Because of Thanksgiving, we'll have a rush of films debuting mid-week. For a family outing I'd recommend the wonderfully kitschy world of Enchanted, the holiday film This Christmas or the musically inspiring story August Rush. If you and your teen cousins want to ditch the old fogies, head to the theaters for the bad ass comic adaptation Hitman or the horror thriller The Mist. Or if you're jonesing for a little intellectual enlightenment with a side of rock history, enjoy the indie Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There.
