This week's box office listings:
1 (+) Ocean's Eleven ........ $39.3 million
2 (1) Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer's Stone .. $14.8 million
3 (2) Behind Enemy Lines .... $ 8.1 million
4 (4) Monsters, Inc. ........ $ 6.7 million
5 (3) Spy Game .............. $ 4.6 million
6 (5) Black Knight .......... $ 3.3 million
7 (6) Shallow Hal ........... $ 2.6 million
8 (7) Out Cold .............. $ 1.4 million
9 (9) Amelie ................ $ 1.1 million
10 (8) Domestic Disturbance .. $ 950,000
>>>
Two guesses: 1) The star power of "Ocean's 11", and 2) it's a film actually aimed at adults primarily (though I guess "Behind Enemy Lines" was too, it probably didn't have as much a chance against "Harry Potter")....
Gauging from next week's two main new releases, wouldn't be surprised if the box office rankings stayed roughly similar (or Monsters, Inc. being knocked down a notch or two)...
-B.
Might like to go see "Ocean's 11"....
