Yoda Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 1.) Monster-in-Law $24,025,000 2.) Kicking and Screaming $20,851,000 3.) Unleashed $10,587,000 4.) Kingdom of Heaven $9,625,000 5.) Crash $7,200,000 Three new films targeting different audiences injected some well-needed cash into the marketplace taking over the top chart positions, but still could not prevent the North American box office from suffering its 12th consecutive down weekend versus last year. Jennifer Lopez scored the best debut of her career with Monster-in-Law which opened at number one and was followed by Will Ferrell's competing family comedy Kicking and Screaming which landed in second with a solid bow. Jet Li catered to the action audience with Unleashed which premiered in third. Overall ticket sales did, however, experience a healthy gain over the last several weeks when grosses were stuck in a fixed range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Why would anyone waste any time releasing a good movie right now? It's just the calm before the storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Interesting to see Crash jump ahead of House of Wax, that surprised me. I saw Unleashed this weekend, pretty cool flick Ong-Bak>Unleashed>The Transporter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegionSox Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe last weekend. I thought it was a pretty good movie. Pretty accurate compared to the book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully more people see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I feel like I am pretty well tuned into pop culture and I have never ever heard of that Monster in Law movie. Could it be that I'm getting old (foreshadowing?)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came in right when Li was done kicking the first guys ass......i didn't see the first fight... , Got caught in traffic on my way to the movie. I really enjoyed the movie....exceeded my expectations. I thought it would have done better than that in the box office... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
