question of the day: Will ‘Angels & Demons’ beat ‘Star Trek’ at the box office this weekend?
Box office prognosticating is not something I want to become a regular thing here at FlickFilosopher.com, but I’m intrigued by the situation this weekend, with Star Trek returning for its second weekend as Angels & Demons opens. Trek has had an extraordinary midweek this week, earning almost $20 million from Monday through Wednesday. (Thursday’s numbers … more…
FlickFilosopher.com now available on Kindle
It’s a buck-ninety-nine per month for all the posts you can read. Comments aren’t included, however — I think that would make the blog too unwieldly on Kindle. But I’m willing to be convinced otherwise: let me know if not being able to read FlickFilosopher.com comments via your Kindle description is a deal killer for … more…
