US Box Office
Will Smith goes solo in I, Robot, and still manages to kick a spider off the number one spot, and have his one personal record. Without a partner (like in Bad Boys or Men in Black), he draws his best opener yet, $53.3 million.
Spidey 2 takes a hit from the mechanical beings, taking in only $24.2 million, another manageable 48% drop, good for number 2.
Third spot is for Hillary Duff starrer A Cinderella Story, a charming, yet uninspiring $13.8 million. No. 4 with $13.4 million is Anchorman and no. 5 with $7.0 million is Fahrenheit 9/11, almost ready to cross the $100 million barrier.
At number 6 is King Arthur, as predicted a 54% loss ($6.9 million), it’s like having an Excalibur stricken through your heart (Disney’s that is).
