As the weekend box office results where released, it had some surprises, and some conformations of what the majority suspected as far as how much movies would pull in.
The top grossing movie for this weekend was The Social Network. Even though some people where shocked by this, most weren't. The only people left wondering how this happened are mostly skeptics of social networks like Facebook, and those who aren't aware of how central Facebook is around many people's life's. Even then, you would probably have to be ignorant of sheer number of people talking about it, planning to see it.
Second on the list was a little more surprising to many people. Ledgends of The Guardians, a film about owls, presumably derived from a children's book, did extremely well despite the fact that it wasn't talked about or advertised as much. A logical conclusion as to why this might be is probably found in the fact that as a movie for children, it would be less likely to be advertised on radio shows and talked about in middle schools and high schools, and even advertised on the commonly watch channels by adults. Success of it can also be attributed to having an established fan base from the books.
It can also be noted on the chart that the top total grossing movie on the list is Toy Story 3, a fact unsurprising because of the large fan base the previous Toy Stories, and even just Pixar has gathered, and the fact that it is targeted to all ages, genders, and races.
