2) Hubble 3D – 19 weeks – $1,028,757

It’s another great week for French-Canadian cinema. Mr. Nobody is by a French filmmaker but stars Jared Leto and is in English. Never saw one ad for it. If you know that this film is showing in Vancouver, please post a comment on where and when it’s showing.
Hubble 3D is still going strong. I wonder if it’s because of all the elementary school fieldtrips.
On another note, I saw The Trotsky with Jay Baruchel on the plane ride back from Vegas. It was quite good – well written and funny. About a teenager who believes he’s the reincarnation of the socialist icon Leon Trotsky.
I encourage you to check it out when it comes out on rental. Here’s the trailer to get you going.
