US Box Office
Cars finished the finish first for another week, with $31.2 million. While admirable, with a 48% drop, it’s steeper than what happened with Finding Nemo or The Incredibles in their second week.
Second up is Jack Black starrer, Nacho Libre. With $27.5 million, this will be his best opening comedy (Upping his $19.6 premiere of School of Rock from 2003) yet.
Another opener at 3, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift races together some $24.1 million. Short of any big name star, it’s nowhere near the $50.5 opening of 2 Fast 2 Furious from 2003.
At 4, WB is counterprogramming for the females, The Lake House opens with $13.7 million. Rounding out the top 5 is left-over The Break-Up, with $9.5 in its third week (closing in on the $100 million cume).
