US Box Office
Ice Cube, rapper/writer turned movie star/producer, is now in the habit of freezing the number one spot for himself when it’s time. He follows the success of the Barbershop series with a new comedy, Are We There Yet ?, with $18.5 million. Apparently, we’re not quite there yet, as he takes over the XXX franchise, the movie opening in a few weeks.
Coach Carter isn’t tired yet, but fatigue is definitly there, at number 2 with $11 million. At number 3, the Focker family has garnered a small fortune now, another week of $10.2 million (with the total standing at $248 million).
Sticking at number four is In Good Company, with $8.5 million. Rounding off the top five is Racing Stripes, looking like it’s going to give up the race, and dropping two places, with $7.1 million.
