Race To Witch Mountain ($25 Million)
In a not-so-surprising turn of events this past weekend, Race to Witch Mountain breezed past the grim Watchmen.
Dwayne Johnson is even surprised Witch Mountain is on top.
Race To Witch Mountain, held up by Disney and starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson managed to come up on top with an estimated $25 Million. The Disney induced remake stars Johnson as a cab driver who picks up a couple of strange kids and gets greatly entangled in their chase away from the government and back to their spaceship. Being an overly friendly Disney kids movie, I did not see any sort of problem that it would rake in a fair amount of bank.
As for Watchmen fans, the worry continues to settle on in. Despite their slot as number 2 in this weekend’s box office, the Zack Snyder film only managed to scrape in $18 Million, already doing a lot less than what its expected to have made. With the bad word of mouth from the general public who I say saw it and didn’t understand it, the odds of this monster making its budget back does not look to be in their favor.
Finishing up with the last two releases, The Last House On The Left reeled in some audience members as it strongly held onto the third spot with $14.6 Million. Although the fates did not look kindly upon Miss March, the playboy bunny injected story that barely managed to squeeze itself into the top ten. Below are the weekend tallies.

Warner Bros debuted the full-length theatrical trailer for Chris Nolan’s Inception in theaters in front of Iron Man 2 a few days back. There aren’t many words to describe how incredibly epic and amazing this looks, but beautiful and stunning and mesmerizing are a few that fit best. Watching this trailer, you will agree that Inception is the most anticipated movie this summer. This just looks so phenomenal.

Inception is both written and directed by acclaimed Oscar nominated British filmmaker Christopher Nolan, of Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight. Nolan previously co-wrote the scripts for Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige, and The Dark Knight with his brother Jonathan Nolan. Warner Bros is bringing Inception to theaters starting on July 16th this summer.
