Ah! I was reading a very overly positive wrap-up of the weekend box office news from Europe and I have to say, as much as the numbers speak for themselves, the Variety folks are painting a pretty picture I'm not exactly sure is accurate.

Sure, people are still going to the movies, and someone has to win the box office battle but can they really say that the numbers didn't drop because of Euro play? Seriously? We're talking about nations that eat, drink and sleep football all year round never mind during a world class competition!

Still, it made me smile to know that there is some chatter about the lowered box office returns because of football. Not sure the same can be said for any other sport in the world!
