That’s the only way to explain it. In the U.K. last weekend, people flocked to see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and not so much else: 1. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa: £6.3 million (NEW) 2. Four Christmases: £1.5 million (2nd week; drops 34%) 3. Transporter 3: £.96 million (NEW) 4. Changeling: £.721 million (2nd week; drops … more…
It’s still Thursday for another couple of hours where I am, so it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast. This week: Blake’s 7, the 1978-1981 BBC science fiction show.
