Weekend Box Office

It's a holiday weekend, so more figures will come out today and tomorrow. But for now, here are the results for the three day weekend. The big news: just two weeks before the Oscars, Brokeback Mountain is out of the Top Ten. I'd hoped it and Capote and Good Night and Good Luck were in a good position to capitalize on their nominations, but only BM came close. $100 million will be tough.

1. Eight Below -- $19.8 million
2. Date Movie -- $18.9 million
3. The Pink Panther -- $16.5 mil ($42.2 mil total)
4. Curious George -- $11.2 mil ($29.4 mil)
5. Final Destination 3 -- $10.1 mil ($35.8 mil)
6. Firewall -- $9 mil ($27.3 mil)
7. Freedomland -- $5.9 mil
8. When A Stranger Calls -- $4.9 mil ($41.2 mil)
9. Big Momma's House 2 -- $4.4 ($61.3 mil)
10. Nanny McPhee -- $3.7 mil ($37.3 mil)

My God, not one good movie in the Top Ten. Is Pink Panther going to make $100 million?

I assume Pink Panther will fade soon enough, but it held very well, so $80 mil is easily within reach. Next weekend will show whether $100 mil is the goal. They've alredy set up a sequel, by the way.
