US Box Office
The Transporter 2 drives a better leg than its predecessor, totalling some $20.3 million (about double the original opening). The actioner, this time directed by Louis Leterrier, with only one previous movie under his belt (Unleashed), but again, starring the same street fighting Brit, Jason Statham.
Second this week was The 40 Year-Old Virgin, not impotent by any means with $16.6 million and totalling $71.9 million. Third was The Constant Gardener starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz. A healthy crop of $10.8 million is the result (showing in about half as many screens as The Transporter 2). Leftovers rounded out the top five with Red Eye taking $9.3 million and The Brothers Grimm telling a $7.93 million fairy tale.
