Paul Greengrass’ new political thriller “Green Zone” starring Matt Damon came in second with $14.5 million. In third place, the new comedy “She’s Out of My League” starring Jay Baruchel and Alice Eve brought in $9.6 million. Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin’s romantic drama “Remember Me” didn’t quite bring in ‘Twilight’ numbers. The film opened in fourth at $8.3 million.
In only it’s second week in theaters, “Alice in Wonderland” has become the third highest grossing 3D film of all time. Second place belongs to Disney-Pixar’s “UP,” and first place of course belongs to the box office behemoth “AVATAR.”

Who is silly enough to pay 12 bucks to go see an anti-American movie? Matt Damon is just a puppet for Universal, who's owned by puppetmaster G.E.
I will not only avoid any future Matt Damon movies, I won't buy G.E. either. I bought my new Whirlpool waterheater this weekend at Lowes, just to avoid the G.E. waterheater at Home Depot. Don't just boycott the puppet, boycott the puppetmaster too!
