Box Office Derby August 30

The Last Exorcism and Takers battled it out for the box office crown this weekend.  It looked like Exorcism was going to nab it, but at the last minute Takers pulled ahead.  Neither film is very good, though, so it hardly matters except to T.I., who starred in and produced Takers and wants to be sure that everyone knows his movie is number one.  Otherwise, this weekend's results look a lot like last weekend's, just with these two new movies on top.  So you got your Expendables, your Eat Pray Love, that stuff.  Vampires Suck sank a bit, and Scott Pilgrim slipped off the top ten.  Just not enough geek love.  Coming up the next few weeks we'll see serious fall films start to hit the theaters (aka, Oscar bait) and that should make movie going more interesting.  That will be a relief.
