Cinema Static Top-10 Movies & Box Office NumbersOver the last weekend, the three new movies took 3 of the top-5 spots in the weekend top-10 box office rankings while last week’s number 1 movie, The Grey, settled into third in the charts and No. 2 ranked Underworld: Awakening sidled into 5th.

Chronicle (w/ Dane DeHaan) performed surprisingly well actually, pulling in $22M, taking the No. 1 spot at the box office while The Woman in Black (with Daniel Radcliffe) was right on its tail, having pulled in $21M for being No. 2 in the chart of top-10 movies from last weekend.

If you’re interested, here’s my surprisingly positive movie review of Chronicle

The Grey had Liam Neeson pulling in less than half what the leaders pulled in, raking in $9.5M while the ‘rescue the big whales from under the ice’ movie, Big Miracle, with John Krasinski, managed almost $8.5M.  And that’s awesome, because I was really close to going to see that movie instead and it looked interesting enough for me to ponder going.
