Based on Sunday’s estimates:
1) The Da Vinci Code: $77 million (first week)
We thank Ron Howard for showing us what awaits the godless heathens who patronize Dan Brown’s story: we’ll get tortured by talk.
2) Over the Hedge: $37.2 million (first week)
Technically, this movie should be called “Through the Hedge,” or even “Under the Hedge,” since the characters never actually go over the hedge. But while we’re being all ‘truth in advertising,’ the movie really should have been called “Hammy Time.”
3) Mission: Impossible III: $11 million ($103.2 million, third week)
Homer Simpson once said, “What’s more important than being popular?” Tom Cruise now knows the answer to this question.
4) Poseidon: $9.2 million ($36.7 million, second week)
Posei-done.
5) RV: $5.1 million ($50.4 million, fourth week)
It’s official: “RV” is going to turn a profit for the studio. How can you people sleep at night?
