This Week's Game
Pint-Sized PhenomenonPick 'em correctly, and win official movie posters!
There's a new, egalitarian, balance of power at the box office this weekend. A Time To Kill has deposed the oppressive Independence Day regime and opened up box-office opportunities for those smaller films that won't gross gazillions of dollars, but might carve out a decent-sized niche in the right situation. This weekend, Matilda star Mara Wilson befuddles everyone with mysterious powers we haven't seen since, well, Phenomenon , while Keanu Reeves (a little chubbier than we remember him) goes on the lam from those meddling government agents in Chain Reaction . If that isn't enough to muddle your powers of prognostication, consider also that the British smack, er, smash hit Trainspotting will add 150 screens this weekend, and might just become a force to be reckoned with. Reckon carefully though, because, as always, the winners will take home official movie posters. The Ballot Before making your selections, you'll want to peruse the vital data on all of this weekend's box-office contenders .
