US Box Office
Marred by a host of bad reviews, results are still pretty fantastic for the invisible, stretchable, firy but ugly quartet, as Fantastic Four attracts $56 million worth in ticket sales. Dropping a gear is War of the Worlds, with $31.3 million at number 2. Batman continues to do quite good business with $10.2 million, but with totals, War is right on its heels already ($172 million in 4 weeks vs. $165 million in 2 weeks).
Jennifer Connelly starrer Dark Water opens at nr. 4 with $10.1 million. As usual, horror pics do better when opening without competition from superheroes. Rounding off the top 5 is Mr. & Mrs. Smith, with $7.9 million.
