I'm disappointed to see that my personal favorite Marie Antoinette dropped off the top 5 but I'm happy to see that "The Departed" (a movie I have yet to see) is doing extremely well. I choose karaoke over going to the movies last weekend. Ryan Phillippe's new movie, "Flag of Our Fathers" as I predict would either get a surprise boost or a surprise decline in sells due to his highly publicized split from wife of seven years actress Reese Witherspoon. Either way I am not surprised if this movie makes money but I'm interested to see if it'll help Ryan's career. I mean wasn't he the breadwinner BEFORE Reese?!?! I'm just saying...

Okay I'm rambling off yet again.

Here's what opening this weekend:

Borat
Flushed Away
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause

Alright a Santa Clause film in November? Simply why?!?! I haven't even BEGUN to shop for Thanksgiving let alone Christimas. I am being lazy because of the nice {re: not snowy & cold} weather.

My prediction: The Departed would be number one but Borat might give it some stiff competition. The guy acting as Borat {re: Sacha Baron Cohen} is a PR genius. Flushed Away may gain some momentum as the holiday season sped up on us.
