US Box Office
The Rock reigns the box office again, this time in an PG rated sports comedy The Game Plan. Change of pace from action dude to father of a little girl hasn’t done everyone well, but it seems to catch on for Dwayne Johnson, handily taking in $22.95 million.
With a smaller audience, the R rated The Kingdom has to settle for the runner-up spot with $17.1 million, which is a barely satisfying result for this Peter Berg directed Jamie Foxx vehicle.
Meanwhile, last week’s number one Resident Evil: Extinction, drops to the third spot, having about 66% of the viewers die, leaving an $8 million take. Good Luck Chuck drops just as many spots, now at 4 with $6.2 million.
Rounding out the top 5 is the well-received 3:10 to Yuma in its fourth week with $4.2 million and some possible awards buzz going around.
