US Box Office

Samuel L. Jackson starrer S.W.A.T. stormed in at nr. 1 with a favorable 37 million (opens here 4th Dec). Second opener was Disney’s Freak Friday (opens here 2nd Oct), a remake which originally starred a young Jodi Foster. This time Jamie Lee Curtis, as a mom in 1this mom-daughter reversal movie, hauls in some 22.3 million. Dropping an expected 55% is American Wedding with 15.1 million on the third spot. The pie must be getting dry. More ships are really needed to carry the extra 13.1 million for the Pirates, still number 4 in it’s 5th week. Seabiscuit show more strength than Lara Croft at number 5 with 11.9 million. And nowhere to be seen is last week opener Gigli starring real life couple Ben Affleck and Big Ass Lopez (that rhymez). This movie is this year’s biggest flop.
