Summary

Not surprisingly, Sydney Pollack's "The Interpreter," starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn, took the #1 box office spot in its opening weekend. But while analysts predicted the flick would easily land in the top spot, the movie opened even stronger than expected. "The Interpreter" hauled in $22.8 million in over 2,700 theaters.

I'm surprised Kung Fu Hustle didn't do better, but other than the Comedy Central thing a while ago, I didn't see Stephen Chow on any talk shows promoting it.

Maybe they opened it wide too soon. It was only on 7 theaters before this...
