This week everything calmed down a major business boom at the box office where six films got over $50 million for the first time on one weekend which will not happen again very likely.

LSP's Speed Racer led the weekend and took down the box office's likely biggest draw of the whole year Wanda Toronto from number one positioning. The $147 million that Speed Racer made was a bit of a surprise too many and it was even more of a surprise that Wanda Toronto still made a good amount on its third week.

Sony is still cooking with Rules of the Road and got a lower than expected draw out of their mega picture The Blast.

The disappointment of the weekend came from Universal which failed hard in week #2 with Coming Home and Van & Cheyenne. Although Nicole did very well audiences aren't liking the idea of theatricals based on current TV shows coming out in theaters this soon.

Never really thought of the change factor before but I think we should do it since in real-life critics always continue to send in new reviews months after the movie had been released. I think we'll update it again at some point before the year is over.

For television the critic percentages will turn into stars with 4 stars being the highest and 1 star the worst. Any movie under 60% is only 1 or 2 stars at the most.

Good to see Rules of the Road still doing a great job as I still can't believe its my top hit to date.

The Blast's numbers were very disappointing I had it opening pretty huge but The Blast is a bust.

Most of my flicks finished under 60% because they were money making movies but I have a couple of high critical acclaim ones in Beat Kids which is at 88% right now and Woody Allen's Problem Girl which is at 90% only ICE Studios flicks have topped ours at Sony.

I am so glad that all of my features are holding up so damn well. Wanda Toronto is doing bigger business than I expected.

The Story of Karla Moran and Twin Sisters might be two of the most successful horror flicks of the whole year.
