Well friday two movies opened.
A very dark heavy Batman movie and a very light silly musical Momma Mia.
At the end of the weekend, Batman will win the boxoffice record, block buster smash hit of course.
But Momma Mia will rake in $$$$$$ over time and as it hits other countries. It's just one of those "feel good" movies and actually sticks pretty close to the original stage play. DVD sales will be good for it too. I'll get to see Batman later this week. But know in advance that I won't come out laughing like I did from Momma Mia. Loved the play and the movie was quite decent.
The theater I went to was FILLED to the gills, lines backed up out the front of the building, the vast majority was for Momma Mia!!! Momma Mia was the clear winner for the women 25-90! I can vouch for the fact that Momma Mia had sold out audiences. Totally foolish and fun, this lighthearted musical is aimed directly at adult women. Streep has a nice voice and Brosnan is just pretty! All the women in the audience forgave his lack of singing ability just so they could look at him. Love the song
Slipping Through My Fingers.
If you go, you MUST STAY for the credits!!!
