Box Office Bidness – Can’t Stop The Christ
1. The Passion of the Christ – $31.7 million – A sequel is the works where the J man opens an unfinished furniture bidness. He makes tables with three legs.
2. Secret Window – $19 million – I was a bit skeptical about this one cause John Turturro seemed like he was reprising his role from O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but Ebert & Roeper, and my mother, all gave it positive reviews. This one may be worth a look.
3. Starsky & Hutch – $16 million – Would you rather see this or a What’s Happening movie?
4. Hidalgo – $11.7 million – More like Iscrapo.
5. Agent Cody Banks: Destination London – $8 million – Frankie Muniz’s Career Trouble Alert: The first Cody Banks flick banked 14 mil on its opening weak end. Next week Malcom will go from the middle of this list to the bottom of it. This one may be out on home video by Easter.
6. 50 First Dates – $5.3 million – Is this movie still in theaters?
7. Twisted – $3.1 million – Samuel L, you know it’s OK to not take every role you’re offered, right?
8. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen – $2.4 million – LL rocks once again. More people would rather pay to see the Drama Queen than The Return of the King. If Jack, The Whole Ten Yards, and Stroker Ace were re-released next week we could possibly have a royal straight flush in the top 10!
9. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – $2.05 million – Frodo, still gay?
10. Spartan – $2 million – I think this one might be good cause Mamet’s wife, Rebecca Pidgeon, isn’t in it… for once.
