I am delighted and not surprised that Where the Wild Things Are took the box office over in a wild and willy way. This movie is awesome, so many of my friends remember Maurice Sendak’s book while growing up and now it’s a film. They feel this is a very special movie. My daughter is seeing it right now as part of a friend’s birthday party. I intend to see it with her this week. She’s a lucky girl because she gets to see the movie twice. 

On a darker note, Paranormal Activity came in third — Wow!  I did skip Law Abiding Citizen came in second. I think Citizen will continue to do well at the box office too.
