US Box Office
Another quiet movie weekend, covered by some lesser known movies (again?). First up is The Rundown (opens here 22 Jan), starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Probably visited by those curious to find out if he learned some acting skills yet. A surprising $18.5 million for this surprisingly well received movie. Second is Diane Lane’s headlining Under the Tuscan Sun, where probably mostly the ladies brought in a $9.4 million (opens here, I dunreally care). Last week’s number one, Underworld, had some 57% less blood to suck and ended up third with some $9.4 million.
At nr. 7 is Danny Devito’s helmed dark comedy Duplex starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore, somehow didn’t attract people and thus really bombed with justw $4.6 million (opens here, feb/mar).
