Top Film of the Weekend: 2009

Below is a graph featuring the grosses for all of the #1 films of this year, chronologically. What is striking about the graph, at least for me, is that it shows that the beginning of the year had such impressive figures that it looks to be almost on par with the late summer. That, and the outstanding figure for Transformers 2.
