Weekend Box Office — August 10-12, 2007 August 12, 2007 4:56 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Box Office, Movies, News.add a comment
New Line Cinema’s Rush Hour 3 opened with a strong (though lower than the studio estimates) $49.1 million from 3,778 theaters. Though it’s an impressive tally, and well above the average mark for most comedies, it fell quite short of the $67.41 million taken in by 2001’s Rush Hour 2. Another thing hurting the films otherwise strong opening weekend, is its high budget of $140 million.
That left The Bourne Ultimatum in second place for the weekend with a fairly strong holdover performance from last weekend’s opening. The film took in $32.88 million from 3,686 theaters (+26), off 52.5%.
Year-to-year the top 10 box office was up by 28.9%.
