The Box-Office Top Five

#1 "Watchmen" ($55.7 million)
#2 "Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail" ($8.8 million)
#3 "Taken" ($7.45 million)
#4 "Slumdog Millionaire" ($6.9 million)
#5 "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" ($4.2 million)

Who wasn't watching the "Watchmen" this weekend? The hotly anticipated comic adaptation opened with a solid $55.7 million, the highest opening of 2009 so far. But box-office analysts have practically declared its debut a failure, since it fell short of expectations and director Zack Snyder's "300," which broke March records with a debut of $70.9 million in 2007. However, considering that the Warner Bros. film was based on a graphic novel many moviegoers are unfamiliar with and starred lesser-known actors, the film did remarkably well. Repeat viewings from "Watchmen" fans and a weak adult slate next weekend will probably see it hold strong.

I'm scared this movie is going to flop.

We will have to wait and see what happens this weekend.

What was the budget?  150 mil?

I'm sure the budget was high, but I don't think it'll flop.

Should I see Madea Goes to Jail or Watchmen?

Go see Ernest Goes to Jail. Easily the best Ernest movie.

Then Ernest Scared Stoopid.

Ernest Saves Christmas is the best Ernest movie of all the Ernest movies. And I know Ernest movies.

ERNEST MOVIES.

Ernest Saves Christmas is (at best) the fifth best Ernest movie. Here's the top five:

1. Ernest Goes to Jail

2. Ernest Scared Stupid

3. Ernest Goes to Camp

4.  Slam Dunk Ernest (which has a plot that is nearly identical to Like Mike, except the basketball player is Kareem Abdul Jabbar)

5. Ernest Saves Christmas 

They all kind of run together for me, but I do like all of his movies.

I used to love his Saturday morning show.
