Yikes, we were wrong

So the mighty "Avatar" was dethroned this weekend.

And by a Nicholas Sparks' adaptation no less. "Dear John" earned around $30 million, beating
"Avatar" by about $8 million.

So, yes, Stephanie and I were dead wrong. We didn't take the Super Bowl into account or star Channing Tatum's movie star pull.

A tad embarassing if you ask me.

At least we both knew that "From Paris with Love" would bomb (which it did with $8 million.)

On a side, great note, "The Princess and the Frog" passed $100 million. So, good news at least. It is/was the 32nd film 0f 2009 to do so. "Sherlock Holmes" passed $200 million domestically and $400 million worldwide.

Maybe we'll pass on box office predictions this week...
