It
may have been universally trashed by the critics, but Mr and Mrs America
kept going in droves, leading Pearl
Harbor to take the top spot in its second week out with an
estimated $30 million. This is a drop of over 50% on last week's haul,
but Disney is anxious to point out that this is normal for blockbusters
the week after Memorial Day. Mmm. We'll see how it fares next week...
The number two slot went to DreamWorks' Shrek
with $28.4 million estimate, a drop of a little over 30% since last
weekend. The Rob Schneider starrer The Animal took third place
with a respectable $19.8 million estimate.
Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge
opened wide this weekend, after running to sold out auds in LA and
NYC for two weeks. It clocked an estimated $14.2 million -- not bad
for a sophisticated movie that 20th Century Fox feared would have
trouble finding an audience. As expected, ticket-buyers were mostly
female and under thirty (their boyfriends were probably all at The
Animal).
The top five were rounded out by the dismal What's the Worst That
Could Happen. The Danny deVito, Martin Lawrence comedy made an
estimated $13.3 million. |

1862 - It
was on this day that the Rev. Charles Dodgson told Alice Liddell
and her sisters the story of Alice, who followed a white rabbit
down a hole and entered a magical land. Alice Liddell insisted
that he write it all down.
