But it took the domestic box office for the 3rd straight week. I don’t know of anyone personally who has seen this move? It must be all the 13 year girls…Anyway looks like the movie will be the run away for the summer.

‘Cars’ takes first in the box office with $31.2 million in its second weekend. It beat out ‘Nacho Libre’, a Jack Black movie about a cook in a Mexican orphanage who takes up wrestling to help raise money for better food for the kids. Has a very ‘School house” rock feel to it.

Third place was ‘Fast and the Furious’, with $24.1 million. This is well below the first two racing movies. I would say this is due to the fact that they had no real star power pushing this movie. They relied on a Franchise name and slick racing term, drifting. The original ‘Fast and the Furious’ made $40 million in its opening weekend and number two did $50 million in its first weekend. They both had big stars the 13- 25 year old crowed loved, who got out and pushed the movie hard. I think we can call this franchise done.

Yahoo movies reports things are looking up for Hollywood; “Hollywood’s overall business rose for the fifth-straight weekend. The top 12 movies took in $139.1 million, up 7 percent from the same weekend last year, when “Batman Begins” opened with $48.7 million.”
