The Weekend Box Office: Friday Results

Based on Friday figures, here are the early estimates for the weekend box office from Box Office Prophets. (They're usually right on target -- studios often know by Friday at 8 p.m. how a movie will track over a three day weekend.) "Brokeback Mountain" continues its steady trot at the box office, moseying on up to $50 mil total. But "Syriana" went wide onto 1,600 screens and collapsed while "King Kong" fell out of the top ten.

1. Big Momma's House 2 -- $23.5 mil est.
2. Nanny McPhee -- $11.2 mil est.
3. Underworld: Evolution -- $10.7 mil est ($37 mil total)
4. Hoodwinked! -- $8.3 mil ($36 mil total)
5. Annapolis -- $7.3 mil est.
6. Brokeback Mountain -- $6.7 mil est. ($50 mil total)
7. Glory Road -- $5.2 mil est.($33 mil total)
8. The Last Holiday -- $4.9 mil est. ($30 mil total)
9. The Chronicles of Narnia -- $4.4 mil est. ($276 mil total)
