FILM: Box Office Results - 8/13/07


Despite its bad reviews, Rush Hour 3 debuted at #1 with $49 mil. And ironically, the well-reviewed magic movie Stardust came in at #4 with $9 mil. However, all became right with the world when Daddy Day Camp came in at #10 with close to $5 mil. Unsurprisingly pathetic. And like I said it would, Skinwalkers bombed like William Hung on "American Idol," making less than a million dollars. For an indie, 2 Days in Paris did relatively well with $173,000, and Rocket Science made $58,000.

Bourne Ultimatum, The Simpsons, and Hairspray are still in the top 5. Underdog didn't suffer beneath the wait of criticisms, staying strong in the top 10 at #6. And No Reservations is finally picking up steam falling to #9, but grossing $32 mil so far, which is reasonable for a romantic drama. This weekend there will be a definite box office shake up when the Seth Rogen-masterminded, teen comedy Superbad and the scifi thriller Invasion hits theaters. Either The Simpsons or Hairspray will have to forfeit their place in the top 5.
