the fact that a bunch of cgi guinea pigs beat harry potter this weekend surely is a sign of our fundamentally flawed culture...

I'm glad they waited an extra 7 months to release it so they could get clear of the holiday movies.

Puts me in mind of an old (but still relevant) Onion article:

79 Percent Of Americans Missing The Point Entirely

Love the Onion!

Most people in other countries don't ever get the chance to miss the point, and that's tragic.

based on information from this article, it's not an overwhelming surprise. Two notes in particular stand out: Harry Potter is on par with the Order of the Phoenix, and 75% of the G-force crowd was parents with kids. Harry Potter has, in the recent movies, gotten too dark for many youngsters (as it should be, I think), which means the tweens are finding something else to watch. Add to this two other notes: First weekend Harry Potter included a G-Force preview, and second, that preview included the words, "poop in his hand! poop in his hand!" and it's not surprising that G-force has done well.
