US Box Office

No surprise that Jim Carrey opens a movie at number one, this time it’s kiddie movie Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events with a very fortunate $30.2 million. Ocean’s Twelve falls down one place, second with $18.3 million. Spanglish, starring Adam Sandler, opens third with $9 million, while The Polar Express is on a steady course at 4, with $8.6 million. Not so sharp anymore is Wesley Snipes’ Blade: Trinity, only $6.6 million in its second week, just enough to stay in the top 5.
