Box office blog: 'Gangster' kills

 

Thanks to mostly positive reviews--though not from us--and stars Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, "American Gangster" earned $46.3 million to top the weekend box office. That was enough to take down Jerry Seinfeld's superior, but perhaps overexposed, animated comedy "Bee Movie," which came in at No. 2 with $39.1 million. But family movies aren't automatic successes, as John Cusack's pretty average drama "Martian Child" proved, earning only $3.65 million to place seventh. Did "American Gangster" live up to the hype? Would more people have seen "Bee Movie" if not for Seinfeld's annoying "TV Juniors"? Where's the support for Cusack, Chicago?
