Wallace & Gromit are Big Cheese at the Weekend Box Office
DreamWorks' clay-mated "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" snagged the #1 spot at the weekend box office with a decent haul of $16.1 million from over 3,600 theaters, handily bumping Jodie Foster's "Flightplan" (and its third weekend tally of $10.8 million) into second place.
Curtis Hanson's female-oriented "In Her Shoes" debuted on over 3,500 screens and pulled in an estimated $10 million. The rest of the top 5 was populated by a pair of newcomers: The Al Pacino / Matthew McConaughey gambling drama "Two for the Money" made $8.4 million from just under 2,400 theaters, while Screen Gems' "The Gospel" proved more popular than expected. That film did about $8 million from only 970 theaters.
Also debuting last Friday was Lions Gate's restaurant comedy "Waiting," which grossed about $5.7 million from just under 1,700 theaters.
"Browncoats" who were hoping for a resurgent second weekend from Joss Whedon's "Serenity" may end up feeling a little disappointed. The well-reviewed sci-fi flick dropped 51% from its first weekend, and made about $4.9 million in its sophomore frame. "Serenity" has a total tally of $17.6 so far.
Next week sees the release of Cameron Crowe's romantic / dramatic comedy "Elizabethtown," Columbia's remake of John Carpenter's "The Fog," and Keira Knightley as a model turned bounty hunter in "Domino."

on Oct 10 2005 01:52 PM [b]Serenity[/b] What are you guys doing, sitting on your a**es? Go see "Serenity"! It needs the money! Please?! (Reply to this) |
 on Oct 10 2005 02:27 PM I'm actually kinda disappointed that Wallace & Gromit didn't make more, especially with such a wide release. Hopefully, it'll be leggy like Chicken Run. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 10 2005 05:17 PM I find these Serenity numbers to be disapointing. I've seen this movie three times already (something that has only happened once before, with the third Lord of the Rings movie) and I manage to find something new that I like about it with each viewing. Unfortunatly, it appears that I have no hope for a sequel now. This is a tragedy, in my eyes. On the other hand, Happy to see Wallace & Gromit did well :) (Reply to this) |

on Oct 10 2005 07:09 PM Serenity was fantastic. Maybe DVD sales will boost chances of a sequel? What's sad is, we probably wont get a Serenity sequel, but we probably will get a sequel to Dukes of Hazzard or some crap like that. The world is a twisted place. I mean, they're making another Fast and the Furious sequel! That's wrong with you people?? (Reply to this) |

on Oct 12 2005 12:17 PM if the dvd sales of firefly are any indication, serenity will sell very well. whether or not this will merit a theater released sequel remains to be seen. (Reply to this) |
