Friday Box Office: Mad Black Woman Beats Hitch
According to Showbizdata, Diary of a Mad Black Woman unseated Hitch from top spot at the box office on Friday with an estimated $7.1M. For the Fri-Sun weekend, it will take in between $20-$22M.
This is even more impressive when you consider that it opened in only half as many theaters as Hitch. In its third week, Hitch grossed an estimated $6.2M on Friday and placed 2nd. For the weekend, it will take in between $19-$21M. In 3rd place is another new release, Cursed, which grossed $3.8M on Friday. It will take in between $10-$12M this weekend. Last weekend’s 2nd place finisher, Constantine dropped to 4th with $3.7M. That’s staggering 66% drop from last weekend. It will take in between $10-$12M this weekend. In 5th place is the last of this weekend’s debuts, Man of the House, which grossed an estimated $3.1M. For the weekend, it will take in between $8-$10M. Both Cursed and Man of the House were not screened for critics.

on Feb 28 2005 08:14 PM In reply to this comment (#820147) Yeah, I think it surprised everyone in the industry. Like I said in the box office report today, Oprah's support helps a lot. (Reply to this) |
