It doesn't really come as a surprise that Rises came in first for the third week in a row, but it doesn't seem to be carrying steam like most people thought it would domestically. It lost over 60% of the weekend before last's gross. This may have to do with the shooting, this may not. Honestly, I think that it is a moderately sized chunk. There are many people who are convinced that the movie is to blame for this but it is at 500million worldwide. Warner Brothers is about to make bank here soon once again. That's right folks, you now get to pay three times and buy three DVD's if you want to see The Hobbit both in theaters and your home http://screenrant.com/hobbit-3-movie-trilogy/. There's a link in case you didn't know. Two movies I could deal with, three is ridiculous. I fucking love this book but Warner Bros.' greed is obvious here and quite sickening. Anyways, back to the box office. I'm glad to see Ted stand strong among these other movies seeing as I really liked it. Brave is also doing well still  even though I thought it would almost definitely get knocked out this week. Other than that not much has really changed, women are still rushing to see Tatum and Mcconaughey strip all their clothes off (probably for the fourth time) and for some damn odd reason Moonrise Kingdom is still in the top ten. Oh well. On with the yearly.

Sigh. Not much has changed, Rises continues to, well, rise (smacked that Spider into place), and really, that's a good thing. It's a much better film. It should hit the #2 spot in a few weeks.... WB is planning REBOOT already with Batman, but just read my Rises review to get the details about that (only if you've seen the movie it's in the spoilers). More money for them? Sure, why not? I was really hoping something would knock off Snow White which is really the worst adaption of any movie EVER but sadly nothing probably will until the new Twilight movie -_- . One more film that, like Magic Mike, teenage girls will be running to go see again. And again. And again. While other films around that time will be discarded by the majority or an entire demographic. Women. I really wouldn't be surprised to see that damn thing overtake even The Hunger Games which is utterly ridiculous. But I regress. 5 Predictions for the rest of the year.

1. Looper does well, but not top ten well.

2. Nothing knocks the throne off of Marvel's The Avengers

3. Breaking Dawn Part 2 will most likely take the number 2 spot.

4. The Dark Knight Rises will gross 1 billion. World wide, but still fall short domestically

5. Breaking Dawn Part 2 will be as much SHIT as the other four. Yeah, I'm biased with this, I have a penis. Go deal with it.

P.S. I think this formatting is much better than the previous so this is what we're going with from here on out.
