Box Office Prediction for December 25-28

Christmas is upon us and shoppers are running franticly to get presents. I officially finished my Christmas shopping today. One tradition that many people have is to go see a new movie in theaters. Since there are 5 movies coming out on Christmas they have a lot of choices.

"Bedtime Stories"
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
"Marley and Me"
"The Spirit"
"Valkyrie"

The first movie that excites me is Bedtime Stories. It's about a man who's bedtime stories to his niece and nephew become real.

The second movie that excites me is Valkyrie. This movie follows Claus von Stauffenberg and his attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

There are three movies coming out in limited release.

"Revolutionary Road'
"Last Chance Harvey"
"Waltz with Bashir"


My Prediction
1. Bedtime Stories
2. Marley and Me
3. Valkyrie
4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
5. Yes Man


Boy In Striped Pajama's Update: I have still yet to see this film. I have heard many great things about it already. I will let you know how it is when I do see it. Last weekend it made 274,000 dollars in 403 theaters. It has made a total of 8.3 Million dollars.



I apologize for forgetting to do movie trailer of the week last week. (I was kind of busy) So to make it up to you I will post 2 trailers.

The first trailer is from the Director of I-Robot. (One of my favorites) It's called "Knowing".

The second one is called "Race to Witch Mountain". Even though I am always very skeptical of alien movies. This one looks like it might be fun.

Please post a comment on which of these movies you would like to see. Thanks!

God Bless and may you have a great Christmas.

What's Going Down?

Did you know that the domestic Box Office in 2007 alone was 9.62 billion dollars? Did you know that all the movies with explicit sexuality in 2007 made over 2 billion dollars? Did you know that all the pro satanism movies in 2007 made over 500 million dollars? Did you know that over 5 billion dollars went to explicit pagan movies?

Even though this looks discouraging we need to look at the bigger picture. Did you know that good Christian movies increased 15% from 2006 to 2007? Forty years ago you would have never seen a movie like Fireproof in theaters. The revolution has started and we need to stand up and fight for God glorifying movies. As Christians we need to take dominion over EVERY area of life.
Isaiah 11:9 “ They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea.”


My Favorite Movies
1. Fireproof
2. The Game Plan
3. Master and Commander
4. Bella
5. Remember The Titans
6. Spiderman 3
