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.
Weekend Estimate Box Office:
1 - The Forgotten - $22 million
2 - Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - $6.7 million
3 - Mr 3000 - $5 million
4 - First Daughter - $4 million (tie)
