Of the movies that opened in wide-release the past weekend, only Charlie Bartlett and Witless Protection didn’t make it into the top 10. Now I haven’t seen Charlie Bartlett but it seems like one of those that could be a sleeper hit. Except that Richard Roper (of Ebert & Roper) panned it, saying it’s like Ferris Bueller had a son “with all of his smarts but none of his charm.”

Vantage Point was my pick for #1, which it achieved. I saw it on Sunday and felt that it was almost worth the $10, if you don’t mind all the plot coincidences. It was thrilling though. (Review to come shortly over at PopSofa. Richard Roper and his guest both panned it though.) Last week’s top five simply shifted down one position, and Jack Black’s Be Kind, Rewind came in at #7.

1. [-] Vantage Point.
2. [1] Jumper.
3. [2] The Spiderwick Chronicles.
4. [3] Step Up 2 the Streets.
5. [4] Fool’s Gold.
6. [5] Definitely, Maybe.
7. [-] Be Kind, Rewind.
8. [7] Juno.
9. [6] Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins.
10. [+] There Will Be Blood.

There Will Be Blood nudged its way back into the top 10. I have a feeling this one will be in the theatres for a while – as will No Country For Old Men.
