 #1 at the Box Office |
Comic-book fugitive Hellboy unleashed its wrath at the box office this past weekend, taking in an estimated $23.5 million, while with $15.3 million in box office receipts, The Rock had to settle for runner-up status with his remake of the vigilante justice flick, Walking Tall .
In the also-ran category: the second weekend of Scooby Doo 2 brought in $15.2 million for a third place finish, just ahead of Disney’s animated Home on the Range, which bowed in fourth spot with a disappointing $14.1 million. Also emerging in the ‘disappointment’ category, Paramount’s quite lovely Julia Stiles film, The Prince and Me, which opened to only $10 million.
Coming up this next weekend to a multiplex near you: the troubled Disney production, The Alamo; Miramax’s fairytale flick for girls, Ella Enchanted; the quite surprising, naughty, and sure-to-be-controversial The Girl Next Door; and the Warner Bros. sequel The Whole Ten Yards.
