In America, 4th of July weekend usually means its Big Willie Style weekend. For the second year in a row that was the case as Will Smith brought in the sequel Stadium to the first ever super theatrical hit Theme Park from NITRO Box Office this weekend.

Stadium is co-starred by Will's buddy Shia LaBeouf and the two love working on this movie and the chemistry shows up in the quality of the movie as this is not your average popcorn disaster slash adventure flick.

This was a weekend of disaster flicks as both Stadium and Through the Monsoon both came in at #1 and #2 at the box office dethroning Jaws Reborn.

Through the Monsoon became ASTUR's top picture for 20th Century FOX so far and their top movie gross wise. No FOX feature so far has reached second place and Through the Monsoon was enough to grab the female audiences not wanting to sit through Stadium.

Sony's Dreams Are Real was for real at the box office as Sony has now put three quality flicks this summer and doing a very good job especially with Woody Allen's Problem Girl which is still standing the test of time.

Pepper and Magic Man held up well in their second weeks as it seems like the two are gaining a reputation and might be grossing for a good amount of weeks before their runs are over. Expect sequels out of both.

Paramount had some good holdovers like Jaws Reborn, Karla Moran, and The Warriors which are all still staying alive. Wanda Toronto only needs $95 million more to get to a billion dollars on its total gross.

LSP and Universal were the two failures this week as LSP's ownership issues has impacted them financially at the box office and this will set them back for the rest of the summer as Speed Racer ended its run prematurely. Universal has had a tough time with their TV adaption features. It might be time for Universal to put away the TV adaptions and just focus on movies made for the box office.

The studios seem to be taking a break next weekend with softer features but Barbed Wire and Johnny Angel are the standouts. A huge weekend is coming up in mid-July.

New Next Week (7/9/10):
Barbed Wire (SONY)
Rhythms of Passion (FOX)
Spice World Sing-A-Long (LSP) *Special Event*
Wed, July 7: Johnny Angel (PARAMOUNT)

Dreams Are Real did so well as I'm very impressed with its opening weekend numbers as I didn't know what to expect from it. It may easily be our most quality and top grosser of the summer unless it fails to beat out Rules of the Road which is still cooking at the box office.

Woody Allen's Problem Girl has been a huge surprising success staying in the top 10 for four straight weeks now. Hopefully I can get one more for it in the top 10.

Jaws finally got out of first place but Paramount keeps finding a way to get their movies into the top position.

Through the Monsoon is a huge achievement for Fox no doubt about it as it deserved a high spot like that.

I'll keep my eyes on Pepper and Magic Man that's probably the best race I've seen at the box office so far.

I agree about Universal they are releasing some shit movies. I thought they would've learned their lesson a long time ago not to release those kind of movies anymore.

LSP had a lot of promise but until Spencer gets back I don't think they'll be a factor at the box office anymore.

I honestly think this weekend is up for grabs and I wouldn't be surprised if Stadium or Through the Monsoon capture first place.

I hop Barbed Wire does at least well enough.

Your doing a great job abydo with your movies as you've got 8 out of the 9 movies over 60%. That's tough to do and it seems like some of your recent are starting to get the money in also.
