I’ve got to say, sure I missed the number 1, but it’s an improvement from my first week. Shutter Island dominated again this week, but Cop Out comes in number 2. The Kevin Smith comedy has received some pretty negative reviews, but that doesn’t seem to deter Kevin Smith fans. The Crazies landed just where I thought it would, but hopefully some pretty positive reviews will bring it up next weekend. Avatar is holding pretty steady this week so who knows when it’ll be leaving the top 5? Rounding out the chart-toppers this weekend is Percy Jackson which made a surprise comeback. Valentine’s Day continues its downward spiral, not even ranking the top 5 this week. Will Shutter Island dominate next weekend? Or is it somebody else’s turn to shine? Only time will tell…
