Here are the final figures. In the posting below, you can read my explanation for why people are jumping the gun -- to say the least -- when they say "MI:III's" opening is a bomb. It's a SEQUEL folks -- nine times out of ten they cost more and make less. (By the way, worldwide it made $118 mil, more than the first two.) "United 93" dropped by more than 50% -- not because the movie had bad word of mouth, but ebcause it had good word of mouth. Everyone agreed it was wrenching. $20 mil is a good number for such a sober, small film with no stars, but I think they would have done better to open in February, before the summer mvoie season. In limited release, "Art School Confidential" and "Down in the Valley" both did okay. And "Thank You For Smoking" hit $20 million -- I was wrong about that one; I never thought it would have legs.
1. Mission: Impossible III -- $48
2. RV -- $11.1 mil ($31 mil total)
3. An American Haunting -- $6.4 mil
4. Stick It -- $5.5 mil ($18 mil)
5. United 93 -- $5.2 mil ($20.1 mil)
6. Ice Age 2 -- $4 mil ($183.3 mil)
7. Silent Hill -- $3.9 mil ($40.8)
8. Scary Movie 4 - $3.7 mil ($83.7 mil)
9.(tie) Akeelah and the Bee -- $3.4 mil ($10.7 mil)
9. (tie)Hoot -- $3.4 mil
