Color Me WTF: Fast and Furious Wins

I predicted “Monsters vs. Aliens” would whoop booty this weekend, but it looks like Vin and Paul had other plans. Not only did “Fast and Furious” win the box office, but it earned over $72 million. I guess there are way more clueless, hotrod driving punks in America than I had previously thought. And for the curious, “Monsters vs. Aliens” nabbed $33 million for second place, everything else was left weeping and sniffling below $10 million.

Monsters vs. Aliens Nabs Weekend Box Office

"Monsters vs. Aliens" Wins the Weekend Box Office

DreamWorks “Monsters vs. Aliens” was the weekend’s box office champion after raking in $58 million in ticket sales. The CGI animated sci-fi comedy was trailed by “The Haunting in Conneticut” ($23,010,000), “Knowing” ($14,705,000), “I Love You, Man” ($12,600,000) and “Duplicity” ($7,556,000).  

I also expect “Monsters vs. Aliens” to be the winner next weekend, as the only new entries to the box office are the not-screened-for-critics (meaning a 99.9 percent chance of sucking) “Fast & Furious” and the very adult “Adventureland.”
