OFFICE RESULTS
And the #1 movie is....(drumroll, please)
(April 27) This weekend Box Office proved that duo star movies work because each of
the top three movies feature two of the hottest stars in the Industry right now.
Singer Fantasia made gave praise to them in a song and actress/writer Tina Fey
wrote a movie about it and Baby Mama is this weekend's Box Office favorite.
Baby Mama stars Fey as Kate, a businesswoman who later finds out she is unable to
conceive and seeks a surrogate mother. In comes Angie (played by Amy Poehler) who
is the complete opposite of Kate but becomes her surrogate. Add comedian Steve
Martin and actors Romany Maclo, Dax Shepard and Sigourney Weaver and you get
the funny Baby Mama debuting at #1 with $18.3M.
Coming in at #2 this weekend was Harold & Kumar Escapes to Guantanamo Bay,
making $14.6M. The sequel stars our favorite munchies-having buddies, Kal Penn and
John Cho running from the law when the almighty authorities believe they are terrorists.
The Forbidden Kingdom starring martial arts stars Jackie Chan and Jet Li drops to
#3 but brings in a solid $11.2M, grossing $38.3M.
In at #4 is Forgetting Sarah Marshall bringing in $11M in its second weekend,
grossing $35.1M. Fantasy film Nim's Island remains in the top 5 with $4.53M for a
grand total of $39M.
In the bottom 5, the Box Office shows Prom Night at #6 with $4.4M ($38.1M); 21 at #7
with $4M ($75.8M); 88 Minutes at #8 with $3.6M ($12.6M); Horton Hears A Who at
#9 with $2.41M ($148M) and Deception at #10 with $2.23M in its opening weekend.
