 In spite of the struggling economy that many people blame, rightly or wrongly, on irresponsible behavior on Wall Street, the Michael Douglas / Shia LaBeouf sequel, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, was bullish with the public and landed at the top spot ahead of the family friendly animated flick, Legend of the Guardians and way ahead of the dead-on-arrival comedy, You Again. Guess Betty White can't save everything.
On Friday, the film to beat seems to be The Social Network, which purports to tell the origins of the website Facebook. Will Facebook's reported 500 million users tear themselves away from their computers long enough to see this? Also two horror movies vie for audience attention, Case 39 and Let Me In.
Here are the domestic box office actuals for the weekend of September 24-26, 2010:
