Forgotten Wins The Box Office
09-26-04
.
(antiTainment) T'was a slow week at the box
office, but "The Forgotten" opened relative strong with a $22 million gross,
placing it in the No. 1 spot. That was the one bright spot on this weekend's
box office. The No. 2 movie, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow," managed
to only pull in $6.7 million for its second week of release.
Bernie Mac's baseball comedy "Mr. 3000"
came in third with $5 million. Fourth place was a tie between "Resident
Evil: Apocalypse" and "First Daughter". Both films brought in $4 million.
"First Daughter" suffered because of the
similar theme to the Mandy Moore film "Chasing Liberty" which actually
opened in fewer theatres but had a first weekend gross of $6 million.
The British zombie comedy "Shaun of the
Dead" opened in 8th place with a $3.3 million gross. "Hero" rounded
out the Top 10 bringing in another $2.3 million.

1 - The Forgotten - $22 million
2 - Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
- $6.7 million
