Based on Sunday’s estimates:
1) When a Stranger Calls: $22 million (first week)
The “action” takes in a house with motion sensor-triggered lights, and a cat. Any questions?
2) Big Momma’s House 2: $13.35 million ($45.4 million, second week)
They didn’t screen this to critics, and we were thrilled to have the night off. Still, couldn’t they have come up with something other than “BMH2”? How about “Big Momma’s Summer House”? “Big Momma’s Other House”? But hey, why put any more effort into the title than you put into the movie?
3) Nanny McPhee: $9.9 million ($26.6 million, third week)
Our friend at Fromthebalcony.com insists that this is the best movie he’s seen all year. We’re sure he’s right, but still, we are sooooo glad we slept in that morning.
4) Brokeback Mountain: $5.6 million ($59.7 million, ninth week)
We have it on a good source that if you type “brokeback to the future” into Google, you’ll see the best, parody, ever. (We tried checking it out, but the servers were bogged down.)
5) Hoodwinked: $5.3 million ($44 million, eighth week)
“Annapolis,” we hardly knew ye. We miss ye even less.
