Box office blog: '21' hits the jackpot
As Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess, pictured above) of "21" would say: "Winner, winner, chicken dinner." If that line makes any sense to you, it's probably because you were one of the weekend moviegoers who helped the disappointing blackjack flick "21" top the box office with a better-than-expected $23.7 million haul. It was enough to take down "Horton Hears a Who," which placed second with $17.4 million as it became the year's first movie to top $100 million. (The animated film has earned $117.3 million to date.) The comic book spoof "Superhero Movie" placed third with only $9.5 million, and "Stop-Loss" added itself to the list of Iraq-related financial flops, earning $4.5 million to land at No. 8. David Schwimmer's directorial debut, "Run, Fat Boy, Run," didn't even crack the top 10.
Did you make it out to any of the week's terribly average new movies? Are you excited for George Clooney's upcoming football movie "Leatherheads," or does it seem too coated in Clooney's trademark smarm?
