The Weekend numbers and more…

As suspected the “DA Vinci code” was number one in the box office. Domestically it pulled in $77 million for the weekends run. However it did $224 million world wide. This is a huge win Sony pictures. You always take a bit of a gamble when you make religion a core element of your movie, regardless if you are showing religion in a positive or negative light.

Threats of boycotts by religious groups only helped to push the movie in center stage and build the hype and buzz.

While “Da Vinci code” took spot number one “Over the Hedge” came in a very distant second.$37.2 million. Still not bad. “See No Evil”, a Lions Gate film also opened this weekend. Making $4.3 million.
 
Here are the estimated top ten movies of the week.

1. The Da Vinci Code, $77 million
2. Over the Hedge, $37.2 million
3. Mission: Impossible III, $11 million
4. Poseidon, $9.2 million
5. RV, $5.1 million
6. See No Evil, $4.3 million
7. Just My Luck, $3.3 million
8. An American Haunting, $1.6 million
9. United 93, $1.4 million
10. Akeelah and the Bee, $1 million

Next week brings us “X-men the Last Stand”. I personally can’t wait.
