At the Box Office: Up Stays…well…Up

The latest Pixar film holds the top spot for its second week, with “The Hangover” coming in a close second.

Meanwhile, Will Ferrill’s run as Box Office Catnip may be over with his latest (and widely advertised) “Land of the Lost” coming in a distant third.

Also of note, Star Trek is still running in the top 5, and with $222 million to date is still the highest grossing film of 2009. Yeah. A Star Trek film. Highest grossing of the year. At some point all those words in one sentence will parse in my brain.

ST: Voyager, Season 8?

Well sort of. A group of fans, not satisfied with Voyager’s finale (who wasn’t?), have gotten together and have built a site with a planned 26 new episodes for Voyager and her crew.

The first story is due out June 20th. It’ll be interesting to read. Hopefully it’s better than most FanFic (gag, puke) out there.
