Bringing in $15 million in ticket sales, True Grit comes in at #1 at the box office this weekend. This is truly an accomplishment for the Jeff Bridges Western since its in its third week of release.

Little Fockers came 2nd with $13.8 million and Nicolas Cage's Season of the Witch finished in third with $10.7 million.

Also a great accomplishment, Jeff Bridges has once again posted two movies in the top 5 with his other film, TRON: Legacy coming in fourth with $9.4 million.

In other movie news, Country Strong starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester, completely bombed, opening in 6th with $7.3 million. However, it did only cost $12.5 million to make, so it will most likely see a profit in the weeks to come.

Did you see any movies this weekend? Which one?

Not surprizing that this made #1. The best of a rather weak selection of movies. I guess country music fans just aren't movie goers. That or, like me, they just can't afford it. I thought Country Strong would do better than that.

Just signed up for your nleewettsr! I would love to have a pillow fight with my kids. They are all adults with kids of their own maybe we should add the grands to the mix! What a free-for-all that would be!! We are spread out from east coast to west coast, so getting everyone here (in the middle) for a pillow fight would be great fun!
