Box office totals for Weekend of 11-16-2007

"No country for old men", a new Coen brothers film,has done a mere 4.9 million dollars in its two weeks on the big screen,which does not suprise me but history has shown that their movies do very well on home video/DVD sales-and a few are already considered "cult classics".I will be among those waiting to see this on DVD but it doesnt mean I like it any less.
For those of you not familair with the Coen Brothers,they have brought us movies like "The Big Lebowski","O Brother where art thou?" & "Raising Arizona",just to name a mere few of some of the best movies ever made!The soundtrack alone to "O Brother" is award winning-but still alot of people are not familiar with Coen Bros movies.If you have never seen one,do yourself a favor and rent one this weekend-you will not be disappointed.
