That it did, but looking at the numbers I wonder how long that will last, I'm guessing not long (though it'll happen again with Sherlock Holmes). It probably also helps that Chipmunks 2 is half the length of Avatar.

Deeper in the numbers it is somewhat interesting that of all the movies already open yesterday (so not the chipmunks) only Avatar and Up in the Air made more money than on Tuesday and Up in the Air when from a limited release to wide yesterday. It's already defying normal patterns so now to see if it has legs. If it makes it into January strong I have to think it is going to go pretty well.

For the life of me, I don't think I can come up with ten films that should be nominated for Best Pic. Maybe three (so far) and that's it.

I've only seen 56 2009 releases and that doesn't include much of the year end bait. Those I've seen that I rated a 4 or a 5 in my movie log are:

State of Play
Up
The Hangover
In the Loop
Ponyo
District 9
Inglourious Basterds
The Informant
Zombieland
Precious
The Fantastic Mr. Fox
Up in the Air
Avatar

Wouldn't really consider them all Best Picture candidates since some of those are "good for the kind of movie they are" ratings (District 9) or mostly remarkable for a performance or two (In the Loop, Inglourious Basterds).

But so far it has been a decent year at the movies that I've rather liked almost 25% of what I've seen outside the house.

So, it didn't last long. Avatar was back on top the next day. $11.3 mil for Avatar and $8.0 mil for Alvin.

Tried to go to Gardenwalk to see Avatar in 3D IMAX...so did everyone else. Will wait a while to go see it...like after the Holidays. It runs till 01-07 so no problem there.

Off to see Princess and the Frog instead.

GardenWalk IMAX is a waste of money, as it is FAKE IMAX. Do not get suckered.

Wow, how obnoxious that IMAX is flushing their brand in the toilet.
