The Chihuahua Was #1 at the Weekend Box Office?
Seriously?
Oh yes. For the second weekend in a row, actually.
The two-day total was $17.5 million dollars. Enough people went to see a two-hour flick about dogs to total up over 17 million dollars. Two weekends in a row.
I'm sure a lot of families took their kids to see this atrocity, but I think production companies too often create kid movies as afterthoughts. Also, that many chihuahuas in one frame is just disturbing.

My lil' lady and I were among those 17 million in the first week. She loved it. But she loved Space Chimps, so she ain't exactly discerning.

Chihuahuas are giant rats, people. We gave Disney millions of bucks for making a movie of an animated rat (Ratatouille), it was only a matter of time.

Listen, if it weren't for this movie there would be a lot of Latino actors still waiting around for The Selena sequel or something. And Drew Barrymore. She always sounds like Cindy Brady to me. So, yes, I took my spawn to see it. I kinda hated it, but kinda hated myself more for actually tearing up at "the emotional climax." Woof.

I think the Indiana Jonesesque Movie Poster and promise of a 101 Dalmations meets Apocalypto is what sold it..
