The
Mummy Beats the Knight
|
|
| |
The
Mummy Returns may have seen enthusiasm drop off 53% over its
opening weekend, but that was more than enough for it beat back newcomer
A Knight's Tale.
The gauzy sequel clocked an impressive estimate of $32.2 million to
pass the $100 million mark for the week. The Heath Ledger starrer
hauled in a $17 million estimate, not bad for a movie with limited
appeal given its deliberately anachronistic rock-laden approach to
the swashbuckler.
Everyone else was waaaaay behind, with third place going to Bridget
Jones's Diary with an estimated $4.5 million. The fourth spot
was occupied by the Sylvester Stallone testosterone fest, Driven,
which snagged around $3 million estimated, in what has to be a disappointing
performance. Also at $3 million estimated was Along
Came A Spider.
Indy flick Memento
has been creeping up the standings, this week it moved up three places
to number 9, with an estimated $1.2 million. Good reviews and excellent
words of mouth seem to be raising awareness. Also improving was spy
thriller The Tailor of Panama which jumped five places to number
10, with an estimated $800,000. |

68 - Roman
Emperor, Nero commits suicide at the age of 31. Initially
a popular ruler, it didn't take him long to mess things up.
Killing his mother didn't do much for his rep, either.
