Weekend Box-office 10/10 - Weak Across the Board

[AndyDursin]

Lame openings helped SOCIAL NETWORK manage to hit #1 for the second week in a row. These numbers are pretty terrible.

Disney made a big mistake opening SECRETARIAT outside of horse racing season...IMO tying it in with the Triple Crown and opening it in April/May would have made a lot more sense.

Another 3-D film tanked with Wes Craven's putrid MY SOUL TO TAKE bombing.

Good holds still for THE TOWN and EASY A -- the latter with an $8 million budget will be a hugely profitable film.

LOL...I love the word 'putrid'. It should be used more!
