Oh yes, another week with way to many movies opening, another weekend with a bunch of movies under performing. Must be the end of August.

Among the new films Mr. beans took the top spot, with almost $10 million. Not all that great, but like I said, this movie has already made it’s money on international markets. Whatever it can make in the U.S. is pure gravy.

WAR was just slightly behind. However, the Jet Li starer was probably counting on meatier take in order to really make money, since it probably won’t do that well internationally. Well I guess there is always the chance it will do great on DVD.

The Nanny Diaries only managed a modest sixth place, earning around $7 million. Hopefully this very modest take won’t keep directors Shari Springer Berman Robert Pulcini from making more movies. Hopefully better ones.

With all the soft openings Superbad managed to remain at the top spot, adding another $18 million to its sizable winnings. However the film did drop a somewhat large 45% from it’s opening weekend, which is not bad, but it is worst than Knocked Up, which dropped 36% in its second weekend, and much worst than 40-Year-Old Virgin, which dropped a meager 24%. I’m sure that everyone involved with the film is still very happy tough.

And so August ends. May September come, bringing less movies, but a better average quality.
