This Weekend in Box Office History – “Season of the Witch”, “Country Strong”

‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Breaks Box Office Records
Someone asked me the other day if I was going to give New Moon a good review. At the time I hadn’t seen it, and figured I would have to wait and see the finished product. It quickly dawned on me that what I was going to say would not matter. The series has such […]
Box Office Results Are In, and “Paranormal Activity” Reigns Supreme
This weekend’s box office numbers tell us something that was no surprise to many. “Paranormal Activity” killed again in the box office – pun intended.
