US Box Office
Late bloomer Steve Carell opens with this week’s number one movie (starting out as a correspondent on The Daily Show, and now starring in NBC’s The Office), The 40-Year-Old Virgin was interesting enough for a $20.6 million premiere. Second is Wes Craven’s Red Eye, scaring up about $16.5 million for a second place.
Four Brothers drops two spots, with $13 million, while the Wedding Crashers held steady at four with $8.3 million, only a few weeks more to cross the $200 million mark. Rounding out the top five is The Skeleton Key, losing a bit of its voodoo powers, with $7.4 million.
