Box office blog: It helps to be shirtless
Audiences didn't let bad reviews and an awful-looking trailer keep them away from seeing Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson's exposed, bronzed skin in "Fool's Gold." The romantic comedy topped the weekend box office with $22 million, edging out Martin Lawrence's horrific comedy, "Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins," which placed second with $17.1 million. The only good news is that the disturbingly popular Disney vehicle, "Hannah Montana/Cyrus Miley: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour," slid from $31.1 million in its opening weekend to a third place, $10.5 million take in its second week.
As for Paris Hilton's atrocious "The Hottie and the Nottie," it, like, totally tanked, earning only $26,000 in 111 theaters. That number seems obviously horrible, but for some contrast it's worth noting that Colin Farrell's decent comedy-thriller, "In Bruges," made $471,200 in only 28 theaters.
Did you see any of the bad new movies this weekend, or have you been catching up with the Oscar nominees?
