Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:
1) Norbit: $33.7 million (owner: David Medsker, Republicans for Voldemort)
Several league members came up to me after the screening and said, “I hope you’re proud of yourself.” Bill Clark’s new studio name, “Norbit Will Tank,” has been reduced to wishful thinking.
2) Hannibal Rising: $13.3 million (owner: Kristin Dreyer Kramer, Nights and Weekends)
At last, we learn the awful truth: the Nazis are to blame for Hannibal Lecter. Sweet Jesus.
3) Because I Said So: $9 million, $25.6 million to date (Will Harris, What’s All This, Then?)
Kristin claims that the Diane Keaton character is a lot like her mother. I wanted to hug her after she told me that. Poor, poor girl.
4) The Messengers: $7.2 million$24.7 million to date (owner: Kevin Carr, But I Liked ‘Lady in the Water’)
Kevin’s fifth-round pick has racked up a phenomenal amount of money. My fifth-round pick, “Balls of Fury,” was moved to September.
5) Night at the Museum: $5.7 million, $232.1 million to date
This might be the worst top five in movie history.
This week: Rom-com goddess Drew Barrymore drops “Music & Lyrics,” and Chris Cooper makes a welcome return in the spy thriller “Breach.”
