In announcing the renewal, Fox’s President of Alternative Entertainment, Mike Darnell said, “We’re delighted to have DANCE back for a fifth season next year. FOX is very lucky to have television’s preeminent performance competitions in AMERICAN IDOL and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, and it’s no coincidence that creator and executive producer Simon Fuller and executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe have been a part of both these successes.” The full press release follows after the jump.
“The Dark Knight” Stays In Front in Third Week August 4, 2008 6:13 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies.1 comment so far
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor got off to a strong start on Friday with $15.2M, a good deal ahead of The Dark Knight ($12.7M), but it fell behind on Saturday and Sunday en route to a $40.56M weekend, just below the $42.66M taken in by first place finisher The Dark Knight.
The Mummy’s box office take over the weekend compares favorably with the first film in the franchise which took in $43.37M in its first weekend back in 1999, but is well below what The Mummy II drew in 2001 ($68.14M). Industry expections were for the film to take in somewhere in the neighborhood of $45-50M so it slightly underperformed.
Moving back to The Dark Knight, this is the film’s third consecutive weekend at #1and its new domestic cume is now $393.75M, putting it in eighth place on the all-time domestic gross list. Though Titanic’s domestic record of $600.79M looks now to be safe, second place holder Star Wars with $461M will likely go down. My current estimate has The Dark Knight ending its box office run somewhere between $486-539M. I’ll update those totals as the weeks go on.
