US Box Office
Samuel L. Jackson’s headlined basketball drama Coach Carter throws a 3 pointer, scoring the first place with a $23.6 million opener. The Fockers, however, is still a family to be reckoned with, $19.0 million for a number 2 spot.
Kid movie Racing Stripes opens at nr. 3 with $14 million. A close finish, as In Good Company, a drama comedy starring Dennis Quaid and Scarlett Johansson, ends up one place lower with $13.9 million.
Not so electrifying is Elektra, rounding off the top 5 with just $12.5 million (while the previous heroine, Catwoman, showing more skin, did slightly better, with $16.7 million).
