Aurora Tragedy Makes Us All Re-Evaluate
This would be the day that I would normally recap the top movies at the weekend box office, but this week that doesn't matter. The senseless tragedy in Aurora is the the only thing weighing on our minds.

It wasn't exactly a bold prediction. I didn't exactly turn the cinema world upside down with my Amazing Spiderman prediction, but after over a month of getting it wrong, I'm going to enjoy being right for a change.
You had to know by now that when I predicted Magic Mike would take the top spot at the box office this weekend that it was doomed to fail. It was beaten by a stuffed animal. I'm starting to take this personally!
Based on my movie predictions, you would swear I had never even seen a movie, or been to a theater, or had never even eaten popcorn in my life.
Madagascar 3 and Prometheus topped new Tom Cruise and Adam Sandler movies to take the top two spots at the box office this weekend. Madagascar 3 pulled in $35.5 million, bringing it's total to $120.5 million and Prometheus earned $20.2 million.
He's already the front man for one of the biggest bands on the planet, Maroon 5, but will he be just as successful on the big screen?
Madagascar 3 had a huge weekend at the box office, grabbing $59 million and the top spot . Prometheus finished at #2 with an impressive $49 million. Snow White and the Huntsman finished third and Men In Black 3 dropped to #4 with only $14 million this weekend.
Snow White and the Huntsman grabbed a very solid $56.3 million this weekend to knock MIB III out of the top spot. The Will Smith flick pulled in just over $29 million, and although it's already out of number one, it has grabbed over $112 million in those two weeks. But the story again this weekend is really The Avengers.
Men In Black 3 pulled in 70 million dollars over the long holiday weekend and has dethroned The Avengers as the top movie at the box office. The Avengers continues to plow through the record books though, and now has brought in over $500,000,00. It's the fastest movie to do so, accomplishing that in 23 days.
A beautiful weekend at the Jersey shore didn't keep people from heading to the theaters, and what a weekend at the box office it was! The unbelievable, unprecedented run of The Avengers continues as it brushed aside newcomer Battleship to maintain the top spot at the box office.
Just when you thought all the talk in the movie world this year would be about all the money The Hunger Games made, The Avengers completely shattered the record for an opening weekend by bringing in over $200,000,000 this weekend.
I have no explanation for wanting to see Titanic 3D. I have been spending years making fun of the movie. I mean how many times can you say 'Rose' in a three hour movie? And why couldn't Rose slide over on that piece of wood and give poor Jack a chance? Despite all that, I have this odd desire to go through the whole thing all over again to see it in 3D. Most people however chose to see The Hunger Games again this weekend!
