Celebrity Today

Another weekend has ended, and that means it is time to look at just what happened this weekend at the box office. We had three movies take to theaters, and it was felt by many that The Soloist would come out on top of things. However, everyone was wrong. People went to go see the girls fight instead of seeing Robert Downey Jr. Is the world coming to an end folks? The Soloist didn’t even break the top three. Number one we have Ali Larter and Beyonce with their new film, Obsessed. The movie pulled in $28.5 million at the box office. 17 Again managed to keep in the top three with a $11.7 million second place. Coming in third and fourth were the other two new releases this week, Fighting and The Soloist.

As for what is coming out this week, the big month for movies has finally arrived. May has become the month known for big movie releases for 2009. We have the first ready to hit theaters on Friday, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The premiere for that is today in Tempe, Arizona. Many are wondering what the reaction to the film will be, and the numbers for it as well. Just how well will the movie do in its opening weekend? Some are questioning if the leak of the early cut of the film will hit the movie in the pocketbook, but there really is no telling what effect the leak will have. Something tells me Wolverine will hit number one this weekend, but it shouldn’t get used to that spot with Star Trek’s release in the near future. Check below for a full list of this week’s releases including DVD and CD releases.
