With the end of 2010 fast approaching and the Top Ten list it will undoubtedly generate (stay tuned), we better get on board with the 2009 list so we don’t have an unexpected pause in our programming, so to speak.So, before the curtain draws on this year, let’s look at the winner for 2009 based on box office results:

1. Avatar
2. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
4. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
5. Up
6. The Hangover
7. Star Trek
8. The Blind Side
9. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
10. Sherlock Holmes

Alright,calm down; we know that movies like Inglourious Basterds (spelling intentional, thanks to Mr. Tarantino) and The Hurt Locker aren’t listed, but remember this list is based on box office results, and since parents seem to use the theater as an outlet for their children there’s not always room for movies that really deserve to be noted as the top ten.
