'Semi-Pro' Not a 'Slam Dunk' This Weekend and 'Basketball'
March 3, 2008 Comments
1. Semi-Pro - A weak $15.2 million weekend sent studios a clear message that it takes more than just Will Ferrell, a sport, and some wacky sideburns to bring in audiences. It takes Will Ferrell, a zany sport, and a funny mustache.
2. Vantage Point - $13 million, and I can't wait for ADvantage Point!
3. The Spiderwick Chronicles - Kids + fantasy stuff = $8.8 million
4. The Other Boleyn Girl - $8.3 million, plus a preemptive Best Costumes Oscar.
5. Jumper - Answering what it would be like to have the ability to teleport, and also be thoroughly unlikable, earns $7.6 million.
