The Invincible Man

As predicted, Invincible, recorded a win during this weekend's box office match-up. I am planning to see the movie sometime this afternoon. Look for an official Last Reel review to be posted in the next few days...

In the meantime, Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo wrote this in his Weekend Report:

Rookie 'Invincible' scored a solid estimated $17 million, while 'Little Miss Sunshine [placing 3rd with $7.5 million],' and 'The Illusionist' [at #14 with $1.8 million] successfully expanded and 'Snakes On A Plane' [#9 with $5.8] tumbled...

Here's Gray's full report...

Ben Fritz of Variety offers his own playbook to crunch the numbers

In Touch Down for "Invincible" Entertainment Weekly cinema guru, Joshua Rich said this:

Marky Mark is back in play with "Invincible", "Little Miss Sunshine" holds on tight, and frat boys come in small numbers to cheer on "Beerfest" [at #4 with $7 million in ticket sales]

I can't end today's post without taking time to congratulate actor Kiefer Sutherland and director Jon Cassar for taking home Emmy Awards during last night's telecast for their work on the Fox-TV drama 24 My favorite series also won as Best Drama for the 05/06 season. It's about time!! Way to go!! (I know this is a movie blog...But hey 24 is a very cinematic show right?)
