US Box Office
Green ogres must look cuter the older they get, because Shrek 2 open with monstrous numbers. $104.3 million, with some other record breaking numbers as well. Second was Troy, with $23.8 million, only slightly better than Van Helsing in the same time frame.
Van Helsing clings on number 3 with another $10.1 million. Mean Girls still means business in its fourth week with $6.9 million on number 4. Man on Fire isn’t extinguished either, on number 5 with $3.5 million.
