  • Fat Suit Wins The Box-Office
    By Garth FranklinMonday January 30th, 2006 12:43pm
    Despite utterly woeful reviews, 20th Century Fox's much unanticipated "Big Momma's House 2" cleaned up good at the box-office - taking in a very hefty $28 million opening weekend. British family film "Nanny McPhee" landed a better-than-expected $14.1 million opening as well, going over big with family audiences and doing decent reviews.

    Walt Disney's much panned military commercial "Annapolis" debuted with a so-so $7.7 million. Sony's "Underworld: Evolution" sank 59% on its second weekend, slipping down to $11.1 million and third place. "Hoodwinked" continues holding up the strongest with a drop of only 29%, whilst "Glory Road" and "Last Holiday" continue on a steady decline. "The Matador" expanded this week and cracked the top ten.

    "Brokeback Mountain" took in $6.4 million from 1,654 venues, and currently stands at $50.8 million. Next weekend, that film will finally expand to more than 2,000 theaters. Steven Soderbergh's window experiment "Bubble" didn't do enough conclusive business either way to work out the debate of release windows ($72,000 from 32 theaters). Finally, "Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story" took the best per screen average of the new limited releases ($19,926), easily beating out the lacklustre "Imagine Me & You" ($6,604) and Lars Von Trier's "Manderlay" ($7,450).
