Of the movies that opened in wide-release over the weekend, Semi-Pro topped the charts. The Other Boleyn Girl only made it into 4th place. Penelope, which was in limited-release, made it to 8th place. (While I watched Boleyn Girl this weekend and really liked it, it’s AA rating really weakened it. As Richard Roper said, an NC-17 rating would have been better. Me, I think an R-rating would have gotten more adults out to see it.)

1. [-] Semi-Pro. Will Ferrell, Woody Harrelson, Andre Benjamin.

Vantage Point is still doing well at #2. Despite being panned by critics for all the “plot coincidences”, this is a really exciting, thrilling movie. It did lack a little something something, but it was a hell of a lot better than Jumper (a big fat disappointment, but still had moments of thrill – just not as much as it should.)

No Country for Old Men managed to nudge its way back into the top 10, very likely due to its sweep in the Academy Awards a couple of weekends ago.
