'Almighty' dollars...
Despite the obvious lameness of the family comedy sequel, audiences shuffled in two by two to see Steve Carell build an ark in "Evan Almighty," which topped the box office this weekend with $32.1 million. A few asterisks, though: *The movie cost more than $175 million. *It was expected to make upwards of $40 million over the weekend. *"Bruce Almighty" raked in $68 million in its first weekend in 2003, more than double the take for "Evan." Well, it just goes to show that $175 million may be a bit much to spend on CGI animals and an over-the-top and borderline offensive flood finale.
An unqualified success was John Cusack's "1408," which took second with $20.2 million and reversed the recent cold streak for horror flicks like "Hostel: Part II," which brought in less than $10 million in its opening weekend two weeks ago. Did you help Cusack turn things around for the horror genre? Will you see Steve Carell in anything, even "Evan"? Which are you more excited for this week: Bruce Willis' sequel "Live Free or Die Hard," Pixar's "Ratatouille" or Michael Moore's "Sicko"?
