Could Have Fooled Me...


I'd a thought that jungle cats eating someones face off would have been just the ticket for the Christmas season...

"Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" took a beating over the weekend, falling to No. 6 at the box office.

The total for the gory Mayan history lesson was $7.7 million, bringing its cumulative take to just under $28 million.

Overall, "Apocalypto" was down 48.5 percent from its debut weekend. After a so-so start, it fell more every day than any film in the top 10 from Monday through Thursday last week.

New releases — "The Pursuit of Happyness," "Eragon" and "Charlotte's Web" — all deservedly finished well above "Apocalypto."
