The new romantic drama Dear John unexpectedly ended the seven-week reign of Avatar at the weekend box office in North America, pulling in large numbers of young female moviegoers.
Here is the Weekend Boxoffice Chart for the weekend of February 5th to February 7th.
Went to see Avatar again over the weekend, the theater was STILL packed. Despite the fact it borrows it's plot from other movies, the Avatar story is still well told and presented and I really enjoy it.
I'm wondering if the drop in earnings was from people are buying tickets for other films in the theater, using their old glasses, and actually going to see Avatar to avoid paying the $3+ premium for 3D movies. Not that I would do anything like that...

Dear John? sounds like a lot of wives went to see this to get ideas for their own 'dear john' letter to all the husbands that went to see avatar again...

For some reason I totally want to see Dear John. Possibly because Amanda Seyfried totally reminds me of a chick I was crushing on when I joined up back in '90.

Look up the French trailer for her upcoming movie, Chloe. BOOBIES!

Kind of surprising that the movie to dethrone Avatar ends up being a chick flick.

While it has performed decently in the box office, I would have liked "The Book of Eli" to break at least 100 million. It was a great movie in my opinion.
