By Even before I looked at the numbers for this week, I had two scenarios in my head, both of which involve a battle for supremacy between two movies that feature extremely loud thunderous noises. In one, a group of loud men and women drive obnoxiously loud cars to drown out the sound of thunder, and in the other a man god thing gets really buff and smashes a bunch of highly modified cars with a hammer.
So, which vision became a reality this week? Did Fast Five keep its wheels spinning from last week, or did Thor stick the handle of a giant hammer in the proverbial wheel spokes that are Fast Five‘s profits?
