Unbelievably, Universal’s blockbuster The Bourne Ultimatum is in 7th place even starting its 7th week in release. 5 went to The Weinstein Co / MGM’s horror hit Halloween which made $5.1 mil from 3,051 theaters with a new cume starting 3 weeks out of $51.4 mil.įreestyle’s newcomer Dragon Wars squeezed into 6th with just $5.1 mil from 2,275 dates. Given the genre and cast, it won’t do anything in foreign so that’s a big writedown for the studio. (Also, I have to ask, why in the world is Oscarwinner Susan Sarandon in this crap?) Sony’s low cost coming of age comedy Superbad, even starting its 5th week in release, sits in 4th place it earned $5.2 mil this weekend from 2,910 plays. Don’t let that placement fool you: this is the latest bomb for New Line. I’m told the pic had major reshoots and ended up costing around $45 million. It debuted for $8.6 mil Friday through Sunday from 2,231 venues. Woodcock managed #3, once again demonstrating that there’s no movie too stupid and too awful that American audiences won’t go to see. It dipped only 34% its 2nd weekend out and took in $9.2 mil from 2,667 runs for a new cume of $28.5 mil. New Line’s PG-13 horribly reviewed Mr. In 2nd place is Lionsgate’s 3:10 To Yuma, which continues to underperform despite terrific reviews and talent like Russell Crowe, Christian Bale and director Jim Mangold.
