Well, it was a no contest. You all had to know who was going to come out number one. ;) The second Harry Potter film openend in 3682 theaters and brought in $3 million less on it's opening weekend than the first one did last year. Chamber of Secrets brought in an amazing $87.6 million! Last year, Sorcerer's Stone brought in at the time a record breaking $90 million on it's opening weekend(later to be beaten by Spider-Man). Even though it's only $3 million, is this a sign that future Potter flicks won't do as well? It's only natural as sequels tend to do less business than their originals. We'll see if this trend continues in June 2004 when the third Potter flick, Prisoner of Azkaban opens. A 2 year break might be good.
Last weeks big hit 8 mile dropped to number 2 this weekend with $21 million, that's more than a 50% drop. I guess the people that really wanted to see it, saw it on opening weekend. But, for Eminem that's an $86 million total.
Tim Allen's hit The Santa Clause 2 dropped to third with $15 million, and a $82 million total!
And The Ring continues to bring people in as it's still averaging pretty much the same weekend take since it's opening back in October. This weekend it brought in $11 million which was enough to send it over the century mark with $101.6 million!
Steven Segals latest movie Half Past Dead opened in 5th with $8.2 million.
And sometime this week early, My Big Fat Greek Wedding will cross the $200 million mark. It's total now stands at $199,573,532! Greek Wedding has now been open for 31 weeks.
Opening next weekend is the new Bond movie Die Another Day. Also opening is Friday After Next, the third in the "Friday" films starring Ice Cube. And The Emperor's Club with Kevin Klein also opens.
