box office derby results

i'm retarded. the two openers did well and star wars topped the weekend again, but overall the box office was down for the, what, 15th week in a row compared to last year? it's not gonna stop either as next week cinderella man ain't coming near the 90 million that harry potter opened with last year. anyway, i overshot even if we were looking at the 4 day weekend, which we're not. just friday-sunday.

1. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith 55.2 -49%
2. The Longest Yard 47.6 NEW

the longest yard is a promising start to hollywood's "nothing but remakes" strategy this summer. next week we'll see if the streak continues with "lords of dogtown"

and this weeks winner is marc



aaron is convinced he's never gonna win again and with this weeks performance, he's convinced me too. but man oh man, am i retarded.
