Money Making Basterds

It should come as no surprise that a bunch of basterds topped the box office last weekend, after all it had a lot going for it. Brad Pitt, who is always an attraction, fan fav Quentin Tarantino who runs a little hot and cold at times but delivers when it comes to originality and style, and some pretty kick-ass trailers. Inglorious Basterds not only killed Nazi's but murdered the competition getting movie goers to shell out $53 million hard earn dollars. While falling down from the top spot, District 9 still managed to pull in over $25 million bringing it's over all box office to a cool $80 million - not bad for a flick that only cost $30 million to make. G.I. Joe holds at 3rd place bringing in a slightly respectable 14 million pushing it's profits to 124 million over all. Goes to show all the doubters that if you give people something to see they will pay to see it.
