4. Animated Flick ‘Critter Chaos’ Is a Kid Magnet.
If you have kids, you’ve probably seen this a million times already. ‘Critter Chaos’ is doing HUGE numbers with families, pulling in a solid $45 million. The songs are catchy, even if they’re stuck in my head now.

BIG budget, BIG disappointment. This sci-fi flick was supposed to be HUGE, but it only scraped $12 million. Reports say audiences found the CGI worse than my last attempt at baking.
10. Why ‘Eternal Echoes’ Is the Word-of-Mouth Sensation.
This historical drama is the dark horse of the weekend, word-of-mouth is HUGE. It’s projected to hit $25 million and climbing. People are talking about the performances non-stop. It’s the kind of film that stays with you.
