1. Friday the 13th 
2. Taken
3. He's Just Not That Into You 
4. Confessions of a Shopaholic

How did I compare in my box office predictions last weekend? I said:

1. Inkheart
2. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans 
3. Gran Torino 
4. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 
5. My Bloody Valentine: 3D 

So I nailed Underworld and Gran Torino, but I'm still scratching my head wondering what happened with Inkheart. It was a nationally best-selling book, and it didn't even make $10 million it's opening weekend. (Granted, it's January, but still.) I'm also quite depressed that more Americans wanted to see people getting chopped up in 3-D than wanted to see Inkheart. It's a travesty I tell you!
