NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:

In celebration of the end of the 19-week
box office slump (sales up 0.4% from
last year!), the Top5 Movies list will
go on hiatus for two weeks. Our next
list will magically appear August 5.

the New Willy Wonka Movie

8> Huge duel between Willy and Count Chocula.

7> Archetypal “bad” kids with gold tickets now include an Xbox addict and a trenchcoat mafioso.

6> Charlie’s first move upon taking over the company is to fire the Oompa Loompas and outsource manufacturing to a plant in China.
