This looks like a quiet weekend where possibly The Butler might hold out and take the number one spot at the box for a third week in a row. Maybe.
All this while the noise or news of Ben Affleck getting the nod to play Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel has lit the web on fire. Everyone is chiming in about every little tick and fart online with regards to the news. The frenzy is much like when Disney bought out Lucasfilm/Star Wars.
This week only interesting movie for potential genre fans is Getaway, with Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez.
Morgan Spurlock is trying his hand at boy bands and Eric Bana leads with Rebecca Hall in a terrorist based movie.
Below the new movies is a list of movies still in theaters that still have punch at the ticket window.
The Butler is kicking butt but IMDb users are only giving it a 6.2. What's up with that? On the other hand, We're the Millers got a solid score of 7.2 and as far as weekend tallies, is close to The Butler's numbers.
The World's End didn't pound it out at the box office, but the fans of the movie and style of filmmaker Edgar Wright chimed in with a 7.8.
As much as I bank on IMDb user scores, you have to keep in mind that usually the fans of the genre are the ones chiming in. If you disappoint them, you're seriously disappointing folks. Yet this movie is also an acquired taste kind of comedy. If his first two didn't hit it off with you (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), I've been told this is no better. Or to be precise, no different.
On the bright side, if you liked those, then I think you'll be in for a treat.
Kick-Ass 2 is fading and Woody Allen's Blue Jasmin rounds out the weekend's top-10, with a huge fan score on IMDb.
