Such a shame that Let Me In bombed last weekend, but that only proves my point that audiences will almost always ignore GOOD horror movies. Secretariat is reportedly only tracking in the low teens, but its Disney + a horse so that to me equals an easy victory. Its real showing should be in some impressive legs. Life As We Know It is a sitcom with Katherine Heigl and should perform OK enough to get her in a few more movies before her career ends. (Bitchy much, Darren?) Wes Craven's first movie since his sleeper hit Red Eye is the long delayed My Soul To Take, which was converted to 3D to pull in some extra cash. With no early reviews, its not looking good. But if anyone has suffered box office defeats only to then prove victorious later on (HELLO SCREAM 4!), its Wes. It's Kind of a Funny Story and Buried, both of which were at one point supposed to open wide this weekend, are apparently only getting a few hundred theatres, so neither will be able to hit the top 10.
