If last week’s box office business is any indication, then the thriller/comedy “Lucky Number Slevin” should open somewhere in the bottom ten this weekend. That’s what happened to “Slither,” a far superior film when compared to the likes of “Ice Age: The Meltdown” and the other major breadwinners. This means that while “Take the Lead” and “Phat Girlz” (ye gods) probably won’t make a lot of change this weekend either, the latest Adam Sandler-produced “The Benchwarmers” will earn more money than it deserves. It’s not exactly fair, but since when has Hollywood treated the American public with any respect?
