US Box Office
The first action-adventure this year surprisingly ends up on the top. Last year’s National Treasure was a box office hit, but the sandy desert-ish Hidalgo and Flight of the Phoenix bombed. Sahara must be something inbetween, taking in $18.5 million.
Second place is last week’s topper, Sin City takes in $14.1 million.
At three, Fever Pitch, starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon, opens with $13 million. Rounding off the top five is Guess Who and Beauty Shop, tied with $7.1 million.
