Sci-fi films took the top three spots in box office sales at that movies this weekend. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 in first, Big Hero 6 in second, and Interstellar in third.

Yes, I realize that SDCC 2010 was last week. However, I kind of had a lot of stuff to do when I got home after the convention (I’ve only really finished unpacking just now), so now it’s time to get my notes together and let you know what happened during the con, based on my journal entries from the trip.
