    Ya I posted similar stuff in the Terminator thread, Terminator Salvation is SERIOUSLY fuuucked now. Horrible opening weekend, reviews and word of mouth. NATM's numbers aren't great too, it'll probably finish up about 100m shy of the U.S gross of the first one. Looks like out of all the major May releases (Wolverine, A&D, TS, NATM2) only Star Trek will cross $200m, would never have predicted that a month ago

    Really was a battle of mediocrity (and lower - Dance Flick I'm guessing is all kinds of awful) in the US charts this week - Star Trek is the only interesting thing on the whole top ten list. At least Up will be along next week (or October over here) to put everything else in its place.
