Another Weekend, Another Pile of Gold Coins

Well, hello there. Shrek here, reporting live from me swamp... or at least, from me comfy chair while I read about other people's fortunes. Seems that "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" is still raking in the dough. $69 million this weekend, eh? That's a lot of swamp gas, if you ask me. Sure, it's a bit less than the first movie made, but who's counting? It's still enough to make Princess Fiona consider buying a new tiara... or maybe a whole castle made of gingerbread.

Ogres Like Modest Declines

They say it dropped 48% from its first weekend. Forty-eight percent! Sounds like a big number, but apparently, that's "modest" in Hollywood terms. Modest for them is still a king's ransom for an ogre like me. They're saying the kids are watching for less too, which makes sense, they're smaller than me, so they should pay less, right? Speaking of Hollywood economics, ever think about how much it costs to animate all those little plumber fellas? Probably more than it costs to feed Donkey for a year. Now, speaking of global shockwaves, Ireland's Fuel Frenzy Blockades and Blowouts Amid Global Energy Shockwaves, now that's a real energy crisis, not just powering up a video game movie.

Summer Movie Season is Coming

Paul Dergarabedian, some fancy-pants "head of marketplace trends," says this movie is powering up the box office before summer. Good for them. I'm more concerned with powering up my outhouse before winter. But hey, if folks are happy to spend their hard-earned cash on animated plumbers, who am I to judge? At least it keeps them out of me swamp.

Love and Travel in Tuscany

Now, here's a twist. "You, Me & Tuscany" also made a debut. Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page, huh? Sounds fancy. It made $8 million. Good for them. Seems like the ladies are loving it. A movie about love in Italy? Makes me think of when Fiona and I went on our honeymoon. Less gondolas, more outhouses, but hey, love is love, even in a swamp.

Hail Mary and The Drama

"Project Hail Mary" and "The Drama" are still chugging along. Good for them. Seems like audiences are enjoying a bit of everything these days. From saving the world to... well, whatever "The Drama" is about. As long as they're happy, I'm happy. Keeps them busy, and that's less folks messing with my swamp.

Top Ten Time

Alright, here's the list of the top ten movies. Seems like a lot of folks are making money. Now, if only I could figure out how to get a piece of that pie... or maybe a nice onion. Speaking of onions, did you know they have layers? Like ogres. Like cakes. Everyone loves cake.
