Forbidden Kingdom Tops This Weekend's Box Office

Your Box Office Report Brought To You By Getthedaily.com - Your Online Source for News.

It's our weekly box office results update, coming up next.

Hey movie watchers! I'm Dana Ward with Get-the-Daily-dot-com. Straight from the theatres near you, we've the weekend's box office results.

Barely hanging on at number 5 is Nim's Island. The adventures of a kid, her pops and an interesting writer stranded on a mysterious island are documented like a children's storybook in this one. The film barely survived its third week out with 5-point-6-million.

Number 4 goes to a newbie criminal drama called 88 Minutes. It's pretty straight-forward with an FBI forensics psychologist receiving a legit death threat and exactly 88 minutes to discover the identity of the psycho-killer before it's too late. Perhaps it's one of many ladies he's womanized, a problematic student or a serial killer he put on death row. The thriller checked in at 6-point-8-million.

And dropping from the hot spot last weekend, it's Prom Night bringing in just under 10-mllion at number 3. The pretty prom princess is forced to deal with some serious high-school drama... it's a little more than normal, when a crazed-killer from her past escapes his psycho-ward to crash the prom party. This weekend's revenue was slashed back to 9-point-1-million.

The next funny flick debuted at numero-2. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a laugh-out-loud-comedy from some of the peeps bringing us Blades of Glory and Knocked Up. It follows a heartbroken dude who just got dumped by his hot TV-star girlfriend. He takes a vacation to get away, only to realize he's booked a trip to the same exact resort as his ex and her new man. It grossed out at over 17-million-dollars.

And karate-chopping its way to number one, it's The Forbidden Kingdom. In this action-fantasy, an American teen makes an amazing discovery in a Chinatown pawnshop that sends him back in time. Featuring hot-shot martial artists such as Jet Li and Jackie Chan, you can't help but be mesmerized by the amazing choreographed fight scenes in a freedom quest through historical China. This one championed the weekend with almost 21-million-dollars.

Thanks for watching the weekend box office update at GettheDaily.com I'm Dana Ward. Be sure to check back next week for the latest movie theatre results.

Prom Night at 3rd? Sweet!

[AlucardsQuest]

I hope you don't write your own scripts for this show. Some of the choice wording is heavily patronizing. There is no target audience waiting to hear a professional reporter saying "dude" & "karate chopping" (which is a Japanese martial art, and the film takes place in ancient China).

[supercheetoh]
