Alba Sees Second Place

It?s official?now even small theatrical releases of children?s television shows do better than Asian horror remakes! The Eye, starring Jessica Alba, came in second at the box office with an estimated $13 million. First place, by a long shot, was that live Hannah Montana movie thing (if I seem flip about it, no one will believe I actually went and saw it!). Other movies of note this weekend were Rambo, in sixth with $7M, Untraceable in eighth with $5.4M, and Cloverfield in ninth with $4.9M. Not a great week for horror, but we?ve weathered worse!
