US Box Office
No surprise as a certain Dark Side dominated the box office this week. Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith took in $108.5 million in the weekend (right under Spidey’s $110 million record). The four day total stands at a record-breaking $158.5 million though, and it also holds the one day opening record of $50 million.
The rest of the theatres seemed almost empty (and no other film company dared open a new movie this week), as a distant second is last week’s number one, Monster-in-Law takes in $14.3 million. A lacklustre performance rounds the top five: at three Kicking & Screaming, with $10.5 million, at four, Crash, with $5.5 million and at five, Unleashed, with $3.8 million.
