US Box Office
It’s getting hard to distinguish all those animal 3D animated movies, but every studio wants to give it a try, and this one has a bear and a mule in it, and is from the Sony Pictures Animation division. I thought animal-tiredness would have set in by now (for instance, do non-descript titles like Barnyard and The Wild job your memory ?), but somehow this one ends up at the top spot with $23 million.
Second up is The Guardian, a Disney distribution featuring Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner, with $17.7 million.
Jackass Number Two will have to do with the third spot, with $14 million. At four a new comedy, School for Scoundrels starring Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Heder, opens with $9.1 million. Rounding out the top 5 is Jet Li’s Fearless, with $4.7 million (dropping a whopping 56% from last week).
