I don't generally care about the cumulative box office totals in a given weekend top ten. Mosty because I find that it's used as a weapon to constantly scream that 'moviegoing is dead!' because a random weekend this year made less total than that same random weekend last year, regardless of what movies happened to be playing respectively. Anyway, it should still be noted that we're probably looking at a record Memorial Day weekend, with the respective top ten heading towards around $325 million for the Fri-Mon portion of this holiday. What that means is that there is a lot of mainstream studio product still early enough into their respective runs to be pulling in solid grosses. That's a good thing, but it really only matters if your studio's films are the ones racking up big grosses.
