Happy 10th Anniversary!

It was a real nailbiter at the box office this past weekend, as two new late summer releases fought for the number one spot. In the end though, the heist flick Takers took top honors with 20.5 million, and right behind it was The Last Excorcism with 20.3 million. These are very healthy debuts for both movies, especially since "Last" was done on the cheap and picked up for a small sum by Lionsgate.

The champ from the previous two weeks, The Expendables, came in third with 9.5 million. Eat Pray Love has shown some decent legs it seems, and made 6.8 million for the weekend. The Other Guys took in in 6.2 million, and will cross 100 million this week. Vampires Suck made 5.2, and Inception made another 4.8. The gross of the latter has now made over 270 million domestically.

Rounding out the top ten were Nanny McPhee Returns (4.7 million), The Switch (4.5 million) and Piranha 3D (4.3 million). It's also worth noting the limited re-release of Avatar in 3D came in 11th with 4 million.

Also, tomorrow is September 1st — and that marks DVDlaunch's 10th birthday. Hard to believe, but this site has been delivering DVD and Blu-ray reviews, coverage on video games and music, contests, a weekly box office report and much more for that long of a time.

With that said, I want to thank everyone who has been enthusiastic about DVDlaunch during the past decade: the readers, studios and various companies. Clearly this site would not have thrived as long as it has without all your support.

So here's to the past 10 years, and to at least 10 more! (Assuming DVDs and Blu-rays will still exist 10 years from now. But we'll adapt to future technologies if we must.) Once again — thank you. It really means a lot.
