I was curious to see who was going to win the "sequel war" of this weekend.

I knew The Chipmunks didn't stand a chance at making #1, so it was betw. Sherlock Holmes and MI: 4.

MI: 4 opened a lot lower than what I was expecting, but this time period has been bad for box-office in general. Last weekend was one of the worst weekends of all time.
