The theory that audiences would wait for the tentpole movies of July before opening their wallets went down in flames this weekend as two all-original movies (R-rated ones at that) delivered stellar openings. Ted and Magic Mike bested Brave by taking first and second place: nearly doubling their pre-weekend projections and giving box office watchers a lot more to consider than the imminent arrival of The Amazing Spider-Man.

With 2010 coming to a close, and the imminent arrival of an entirely fresh, unexplored, and unpredictable decade of cinema, what better time to start bombarding you with top ten lists of past highlights? We’ve done top ten posters, top ten trailers and top ten Christmas movies (and an alternate Christmas list for those who disagreed with the first).

This time: scores and soundtracks. There is a distinction between the two, but it’s murky, and as more and more films are using a mix of both original scores and pre-existing tracks, who are we to try to keep them separate?  Hit the jump for more.

While the first three Steven Soderbergh directed Oceans movies (Oceans Eleven, Oceans Twelve and Oceans Thirteen) have grossed over a billion dollars worldwide, producer Jerry Weintraub said he won’t be making Oceans Fourteen.  He said this last night at the Milken Institute Global Conference, where he was telling the standing-room-only crowd stories of his history in Hollywood and how he first got into the business.  THR has a good write-up on the event.

Of course even though Weintraub says he won’t make Oceans 14, I’m sure if Soderbergh and the rest of the cast decided to do one more at some point down the road, everyone would have a change of heart.  While some didn’t enjoy Oceans 12 or 13 as much as the first film, I really enjoy the series and would welcome another movie down the road.  I don’t know of another franchise that has so many great actors having so much fun on screen.
