This weekend, it was all about Frank Miller's Sin City. Directed by Miller with Robert Rodriguez and his pal Quentin Tarantino, and starring Bruce Willis, Clive Owen and dozens more, the question this weekend was never whether it would be #1, but how much an R-rated black-and-white movie based on a little known comic book could make. In this case, it earned an estimated $28 million opening weekend, more than last year's Hellboy, either of the two Kill Bill films or Rodriguez's last movie. It averaged $8,706 in 3,230 theatres across the country.
Also opening this weekend was the Barbershop spin-off, Beauty Shop, starring Queen Latifah, which took in an estimated $13.5 million, just barely outmanouvering the Bernie Mac/Ashton Kutcher comedy, Guess Who for second place. Having opened on Wednesday, Latifah's estrogen-laden comedy has grossed just over $17 million so far. Still, the latter held up well in its second weekend with an estimated three day take of $13 million, taking it just over the $40 million mark.
The CG animated family comedy Robots also held up well, keeping its fourth place spot for a second weekend in a row, as it crossed the $100 million mark in its fourth weekend.
Sequelitis has set in, as Sandra Bullock's Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous didn't hold up too well from its Easter opening, making just over $8 milion. Likewise, The Ring Two continues to lose business, as it took another large tumble in its third weekend, earning less than $6 million. The two sequels have earned $31 million and $68 million respectively.
Expanding into 1,111 theatres across the country, the Kevin Costner and Joan Allen dramedy The Upside of Anger, directed by Mike Binder, moved into the Top 10, earning just over $4 million, and nearly doubling its box office to just under $9 million after four weeks.
The Disney ice skating movie Ice Princess, starring "Buffy" star Michelle Trachtenberg, rounded out the Top 10 with $2.5 million in its third weekend and just under $19 million total.
In limited release, Agnes Jaoui's French drama Look at Me opened in 6 theatres in New York and Los Angeles, making just under $75,000 its opening weekend, an average of $12,500 per theatre. The Baja 1000 documentary Dust to Glory from filmmaker Dana Brown grossed just under $17,000 in just two theatres.
