In the second week of it being open Watchmen has dropped to second place in the US and Dwayne Johnson's Race to Witch Mountain has taken the top spot. Watchmen's takings have dropped by 67% which is not good, but it's still taken a fair few million.

I am just so surprised that Paul Blart: Mall Cop is still in the top 10. It makes no sense that a straight to DVD type of film should be doing that well, but what do I know.

Taken has become the first film since The Dark Knight to have seven consecutive weeks in the top five. I really must get round to watching Liam Neeson's latest film as it has been out on DVD over here for ages.

Did you expect Watchmen to drop so much so soon? What are your theories for Paul Blart's popularity?

No accounting for taste eh? You really should get round to watching Taken - i wasn't overly-optimistic with this one but was pleasantly surprised at how good it actually was. Never tries to show off or do anything fancy, just a well thought out action flick. Thought Liam would be useless in this roll but he rather amazingly kicks butt!
