US Box Office
Swapping places, the Wedding Crashers takes the top spot with $20 million, leaving last week’s topper, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, behind with $16.4 million. Both are at their third week of release with Charlie cashing in more dough, a cume of $148 million, against the $116 million the Wedding Crashers cashed in.
At three, a cheapoh kiddy superhero movie, which brings back Kurt Russell to Walt Disney, where he started his career, with Sky High, earning a mediocre $14.6 million. At four, flying totally under the radar (especially if you calculate it with the $130 million budget), is Stealth with $13.3 million.
At 5, a comedy starring Diane Lane and John Cusack, Must Love Dogs barks together $12.9 million.
Last week’s bomb (just like this week’s Stealth, also from Sony Pictures) is a truly sinking island, The Island is now worth $5.96 million, good for a number 7 spot and a total cume of $24.3 million (still short some $100 million to break even).
