I inadvertently saw a commercial for Without a Paddle: Nature Calling, which was apparently released on DVD last week.

by Furious
September 30th, 2008

The results are in and as predicted, Eagle Eye crushed the competition at the box office, raking in $29,150,721, a respectable $8,305 per screen. The marketing and good buzz proved quite a boost. Miracle at St. Anna was on the opposite end of the spectrum, making a paltry $3,477,996.
