This was no doubt about it the biggest weekend in July for new releases as four different studios sent out some of their best movies of the summer but once again Paramount Pictures who has dominated the box office all summer long came out on top with The Action-Packed Flick.

The Action-Packed Flick was your typical summer blockbuster action fest of a movie and it opened up very huge for a first entry of the series. The star power of The ICE Phederation continues to be the story at the box office as people are coming to see Paramount's biggest pictures.

In second was a family attraction from Warner Bros. with Stella & Kingdom Hearts which opened up huge and is a movie just like Jade and the Poisoned Heart which has a chance to have some very long legs.

In third place was The Billion Dollar People which is off to a solid start but some people had it opening much bigger than that but the movie itself is treated as an unofficial pilot to the new television series The Six Billion Dollar Women. Big Willie will join the series during the fall but they could've used his star power for the movie. The Six Billion Dollar People is suffering from the Sci-Fi over-exposure syndrome where a film like Wanda Toronto has taken over the box office almost single-handily.

Last but not least was Universal's Cory & Shawn: The Movie which did better than most of the studio's movies only trailing Nicole and Coming Home. Cory & Shawn had a similar opening to Nicole which opened little higher back in May so this is a good start for the comedy which details the friendship between Cory & Shawn from Boy Meets World.

Paramount's holdovers continue to the be the story as Johnny Angel continues but Magic Man is on cruise control right now.

Some major closings at the box office this week were The Story of Karla Moran and The Warriors which both huge hits this summer especially The Story of Karla Moran which closed out with similar numbers to the horror king Twin Sisters which drew $242,305,000 over 13 weeks. The Story of Karla Moran is now the new top horror flick of the year for the time being drawing $246,187,000 over a 10 week period. Considering how crowded the summer is to be on the charts for 10 consecutive weeks is pretty damn amazing. Paramount seems to be the only studio that knows how to scare viewers now in days.

New Next Week (7/23/10):
Roller Coaster (LSP)
The Elusive Flame (FOX)
Nice Girls (PARAMOUNT) feat. Allison Shields & Terri Shields

I had a feeling The Billion Dollar People wouldn't finish in second place I probably should've released it on the 30th instead of Mr. Postman.

Problem Girl is still holding up very well!

The Action-Packed Flick sounds like the perfect summer movies. I definitely want the syndication rights to it. I also want The Warriors and Karla Moran.

Cory & Shawn did well surprisingly!

To answer the poll at the top I think that Stella & Kingdom Hearts has a chance to gross the most since it's a family movie aimed at kids but I think The Billion Dollar People could definitely do over $200 million for its run.

So glad right now at how well The Action-Packed Flick opened up. This is like our Die Hard franchise for Paramount.
