And in tenth place was Breach with $3.4 million, down 41%, for a $25 million total. I'd like to point out that in Breach, Black Snake Moan, and Zodiac, we have three well reviewed, very adult movies coming out at a time that is usually a dumping ground for dreck like Wild Hogs and Music and Lyrics, and all three are set to lose money. Why do we only go see "good" movies between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Where are the people who churned out $55 million for The Good Shepherd, and why aren't they interested in Breach? I wish I had an answer to offer, but I don't. What do you insightful readers think?
So that's it for this week. Join us next week when Zach Snyder follows up his fantastically entertaining remake of Dawn of the Dead with an adaptation of Frank (Sin City) Miller's 300 and proves that you can't use too much slow motion in a movie trailer.

I saw Zodiac this past weekend and found it to be one of the most engaging movies I'd seen in a long time. I'm with you, Sutter Cane!

Sutter Cane, I couldn't agree with you more. "Breach" and "Zodiac" were both fantastic, intelligent, and suspenseful with great writing, directing and acting. Please people who like to see good movies made, go out and buy a ticket and go see them!
I can't say the same for "The Good Shepard", which I found to be boring as shit. The only good scene in the movie was the one with Joe Pesci and Matt Damon. Matt Damon's performance was wooden, and Angelina Jolie hasn't had such a pointless role since "Gone in 60 Seconds." We're supposed to believe that Damon's character has no problem leaving Angelina Jolie at home alone for years on end?? Yea, right.
