US Box Office
Exorcist: The Beginning (well, actually, the second beginning, as the complete movie was reshot by a Renny Harlin, after Paul Schrader was fired after he completed a thriller with more psychologically aspects instead of the pints of blood the producers wanted) starts off pretty well with $18.2 million.
Teen comedy Without a Paddle, paddles to a number 2 spot with $13.7 million. More fun for teens was to be found at number 3, where The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement cashes in $13.2 million in its second week.
At the 4th spot, Alien vs. Predator proves signals from outer space degrade almost as fast as the speed of light, with only $12.5 million catched by the satellites in its second week.
