Killing Nazis was profitable this weekend as "Inglourious Basterds" took the No. 1 spot at the box office with around $38 million. It has a budget of around $70 million, so the next week drop off will be a good indicator of if it will make its money back.
I did see the film over the weekend and will have a review, of sorts, on Friday's "Viewpoints On..."
The other new films of the week "Shorts," "Post Grad" and "X Games 3D the Movie" didn't even break the top five with earnings of $6 million, $2.6 million and $800 thousand dollars.
Last week's No. 1 "District 9" had a 51 percent drop off from last week, pulling in $18 million bringing it's total to $72 million. Remember it already made its money back from its $30 million dollar budget, so this is all good money from here on in.
In other box office news "Transformers 2" is within striking distance of earning $400 million. As of today it has earned $398 million. It should be able to push past the 400 mark in a week or two.
