US Box Office
Bad reviews from everywhere, even some streaming in from outerspace through the SETI satellites, didn’t stop Alien vs. Predator from making bigger bugs, I mean bucks, than their previous solo movies. Alien 3 topped at $19.5 million, while Predator did it with $12 million. Teamed up together though, they’re good for $38.3 million.
Second place is for Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement. It’s every young girls’ dream, so it earns a hefty $23.0 million. Collateral drops to number 3, though only a 35% drop, with $16.0 million. For young boys, there was Yu-Gi-Oh!, another Japanese trading card thingy, i.e. another major headache for parents. A $9.4 million headache, to be exact. Good enough for a number 4 spot.
