US Box Office
This week, people were more interested in a very dark place than the opening of a new hair salon.
Sin City, with Robert Rodriguez behind the camera, drags in $28.1 million. Again, he pulls double duty as writer, producer, editor and composer.
Beauty Shop has a grand opening with $13.5 million. Queen Latifah does slightly worse compared to Ice Cube’s Barbershop ($21 million in 2002, $24 for the sequel last year). Guess Who drops to number 3, with $13 million, while Robots take the fourth spot with $10 million.
Rounding off the top 5 is Miss Congeniality 2 with $8.4 million.
