Skyfall raked in a majority of the dough this weekend, with $90 million (including Thursday’s earnings)! It so deserved it, too, because it’s just about one of the finest action films of the year, and it is generally one of the best of the year as well! And Lincoln took in an impressive $900, 000 at eleven theatres this weekend. Also, at least surprising to me, Pitch Perfect sneaked into the Top 10 this weekend at #8, but that’s pretty sweet for it! Well, now to the numbers!

My reviews of other films in theatres
House at the End of the Street
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I’ve been putting these reviews at the bottom of my results article because I’m trying to get a little bit more traffic for them (in case you readers missed the reviews). And I, just now, realized by revealing the scores, it isn’t any good at getting more traffic. Who wants to read a review when they already know the score I gave it? I don’t think I’d do very well working in advertising…
Filmcraziest 
I’m glad Skyfall’s doing well. It’s a great film and one of the best Bond films.
It really seems like it!
some pretty impressive results for the box office. I was surprised that both Pitch Perfect and Here Comes the Boom moved UP from the previous week.
Yeah, same! When I saw Pitch Perfect I was thinking, sweet, but that’s a surprise.
