O'seas auds still take to 'Village'
'Shark' captures Oz prey

By Don Groves

With due respect to M. Night Shyamalan, "The Village's" feat of winning the B.O. crown overseas for five straight weekends is as much a commentary on the generally unexciting competition as a validation of the popularity of his suspenser.
Over the weekend, "The Village" prevailed against "The Terminal" and "The Bourne Supremacy," while "Shark Tale" had solid world preems Down Under. It minted an estimated $13 million, boosting its cume to $100.4 million, and will soon cruise past domestic's $113 million.

That marks the fourth Shyamalan pic to crack $100 million internationally as well as the fifth BVI title to cross that milestone this year (and the industry's 17th), so the distrib is one short of its 1997 record of six century-makers.

Thriller captured a projected $5 million in Spain, a career high for the director, beating his "Signs" by 15%, and more than tripling the fourth weekend take of Alejandro Amenabar's "The Sea Inside," which has hauled in a stellar $14 million. "Village" collared $780,000 in South Korea, the No. 1 U.S. release, 18% bigger than "The Sixth Sense" but below "Signs" and "Unbreakable." Pic plunged by 55% to $975,000 in its soph sesh in Mexico, banking a nonetheless terrif $5 million so far.

'Terminal' adds $9 mil

"The Terminal" booked an estimated $9 million from around 3,400 screens in 42 territories, elevating cume to $54.4 million. With Japan, Germany, Russia, Sweden and a few smaller markets ahead, Tom Hanks starrer is sure to surpass domestic's $77 million by a sizable margin.

Steven Spielberg-helmed drama rang up a fair $816,000 on 251 in Mexico and $300,000 on 21 in Hong Kong. The top territory is the U.K.'s $9.8 million through its fourth flight, and it has accrued $4.7 million after its third in Spain. "Bourne Supremacy" mustered roughly $7 million in 22 territories, driving its cume to $64 million, with Germany and Japan ahead. Matt Damon starrer fetched an estimated $2 million on 324 in Italy, trailing "Spider-Man 2," which spun $4.5 million in its second stanza on 806, falling by 50% after its record-busting preem. That brought the webslinger's Italo total to a socko $17.7 million and its overseas cume to $399 million.

Spy saga was No. 1 in Brazil, trapping about $500,000 on 210, 45% bigger than the bow of "Bourne Identity," and it dropped by 44% to $1.1 million in Spain, where it has pocketed $3.5 million in 10 days.

'Shark' captures Oz prey

Released Down Under before its domestic launch this Friday, "Shark Tale" hooked $2.4 million on 273 in Australia, including $535,000 in sneaks, and $610,000 on 51 in New Zealand, also with previews.

The DreamWorks toon's opening days were ahead of the first day of the original "Shrek" but the four-day tallies came in below that pic's in both countries, evidently not pulling in as many adults as UIP had hoped; also, the whole Kiwi market was down on Sunday. However, with two weeks of school holidays ahead in both markets, the distrib is confident "Shark" will play on strongly.

After hitting the net in the U.S., tennis-themed romance "Wimbledon" top scored in the U.K., albeit with an unremarkable $3.2 million on 450, repping 22% of the market. The Kirsten Dunst/Paul Bettany starrer faulted in Sweden, placing sixth with $100,000 in 30.

"Collateral" rang up $6 million in 20 territories, boosting cume to $25.5 million. Tom Cruise starrer seized about $2 million on 467 in Germany, including sneaks, a solid second behind "The Downfall," the Adolf Hitler pic that marshaled an estimated $5 million (up 20%), bringing its 11-day tally to a hot $11.2 million.

UIP calculated "Collateral" at $350,000 in Switzerland, a clear No. 1, and $306,000 in Austria, where it was beaten by local entry "Silentium." The hitman saga grabbed $2.6 million in its soph sesh in Blighty (declining by a moderate 32%), earning a hearty $8.3 million to date.

'Hero' strong in Blighty

Zhang Yimou's actioner "Hero," toplining Jet Li, nabbed a nifty $1.6 million on 255 in the U.K., elevating cume to $104 million, with plenty of upside as Australia, Mexico, Brazil and Italy lie ahead.

"Garfield: The Movie" milked a so-so $925,000 on 239 in Italy and a stout $443,000 on 70 in South Africa, helping to spur its cume to $97.4 million. Feline pic lapped up $1 million in its second turn in Oz, off 22%, raising total to $3.5 million.

"I, Robot" advanced to $168.9 million, propelled by Japan's $3 million second weekend, where it eased by a mild 33%, which brings the territory haul to a strapping $15 million.

"King Arthur" climbed to $131 million, overtaking the lifetime cume of producer Jerry Bruckheimer's "Gone in 60 Seconds" and, with Italy slated for this Friday, is headed for north of $140 million.

OMG -not what I expected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I figured out things pretty quick - the suspense pretty fricking suspenseful

I think the filmmaker likely wanted to hold the suspense as long as possible but if you figured it out it wouldn't be much different than "The Village" which I figured out in the first reel. I know these filmmakers have seen Hitchcock films and try to construct their product along those lines but they nearly always don't have the right scripts, the finesse with their actors nor the sly wit of Hitchcock. I'm not rushing to the cineplex for this one because of the poor reviews.

Sorry I'm late -- damn Microsoft service pack downloads -- lost most of my registry!

Looks like "Sky Captain" is headed for a dissapointing box office. Is this a backlash of the film-going public not accepting something new from something old? Inspired by the Universal 40's and 50's Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon serials with a nod to "Metropolis" and other sci-fi classics, what happend? The tepid thriller "The Forgotten" with lukewarm reviews has even forged ahead.

'Lights', 'Taxi' in action
Young auds key as trio bow at B.O.
By Gabriel Snyder

Three films aimed at young auds go head to head at the box office this weekend.
Universal looks to lure males, especially in the South and Midwest, to Texas football drama "Friday Night Lights," unspooling in 2,667 theaters, while 20th Century Fox targets an urban segment with Jimmy Fallon/Queen Latifah crime laffer "Taxi" at 3,002 locations. Aiming at the younger girl demo, New Line has Hilary Duff music school drama "Raise Your Voice" bowing at 2,521 venues.

The three newcomers will likely scrap for second spot, however, to DreamWorks' "Shark Tale," which is expected to remain atop the box office chart in its sophomore sesh after its $47.6 million opening. A 50% drop for the fish toon would still leave it with $24 million -- well above the level of biz the newcomers are expected to drum up.

"Lights" and "Taxi" are expected to finish the frame in the mid-teens, while "Voice" would do well to break into eight figures by Sunday.

"Friday Night Lights," helmed by Peter Berg and produced by Brian Grazer, will get heavy play in parts of the country where football is followed fanatically.

"We tried to be very smart in how we booked the South," U distrib prexy Nikki Rocco said. The core aud for the Billy Bob Thornton starrer is young males but, she said, "I think (females) come with the guys." She added that tracking among femmes under 25 has been strong considering the pic's sports theme.

A potential wrinkle is that the pic's debuting in the thick of football season. While that may spark timely interest, it also means there's plenty of football -- high school on Friday, college on Saturday, pro on Sunday -- to which fans will be paying attention. Also, the weekend features a bevy of baseball playoff games to further engage sports fans.

The second presidential debate tonight also could put a damper on adult filmgoing numbers if it attracts huge ratings like the first. That may not be much of a factor for youngsters, but several distribs with specialty fare, which usually skews older, are wary of slow biz tonight.

Last week, Fox announced it would debut "Taxi" two days early on a Wednesday in 609 theaters. The limited Wednesday bow resulted in a not terribly impressive $300,434, or just $493 per theater, reflecting low awareness. Grosses are likely to pick up considerably tonight.

Pic marks the first starring role for Fallon, who co-stars with Queen Latifah, since ankling "Saturday Night Live." He is following a long line of successful comics from the TV franchise hoping to segue into a strong film career.

Rapper-turned-thesp Latifah, however, is accumulating a strong track record at the box office. Her last starring role came in last year's "Bringing Down the House," with "SNL" alum Steve Martin, which debuted with $31.1 million.

Since then, she has had smaller roles in "Barbershop 2: Back in Business," which opened in February with $24.2 million. More recently, she heavily promoted and produced "The Cookout," in which she had a small role; laffer bowed modestly with $5 million in September.

Among the weekend's limited releases, Lions Gate period drama "Stage Beauty," starring Billy Crudup and Claire Danes, will open on three screens in Gotham and L.A.

Warner Independent is bowing laffer "Around the Bend," helmer Jordan Roberts' feature debut, on four screens.

ThinkFilm's indie sci-fi pic "Primer," which scribe-helmer Shane Carruth produced for $7,000 and netted the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance this year, debuts on four screens in Gotham and Dallas.

Wellspring's "Tarnation," which helmer-star-scribe Jonathan Caouette made on an even tighter budget (less than $220), opens at Film Forum in Gotham.

After its stellar debut, Fox Searchlight is expanding "I Heart Huckabees" to 44 screens in 14 theaters. Searchlight distrib topper Steve Gilula said, "We're concerned about big baseball playoffs and the debate. A lot of our audience is pretty politically aware." Cume through the pic's first six days on four screens is $379,524.

Focus expands "The Motorcycle Diaries" a second time, adding 100 runs for a total of 167 screens. Che Guevara biopic has notched $1,341,265 in receipts in its first 10 days.

Other limited bows this weekend, all on single screens in Gotham, include New Yorker's "Vodka Lemon," Armenia's 2003 Oscar submission, on one screen; Strand's German drama "The Child I Never Was"; and First Run's Pakistani drama "Silent Waters."

Will auds pull 'Team' strings?

Par's puppet pic squaring off with boffo 'Shark'

By Gabriel Snyder

After "Shark Tale's" two-week reign, Paramount hopes to top the box office chart this weekend with its marionette actioner "Team America: World Police," which arrives in 2,539 theaters. Also bowing this week, with 1,772 engagements, is Miramax's Richard Gere-Jennifer Lopez romancer "Shall We Dance."
Helped by last Monday's Columbus Day holiday, which goosed Sunday grosses across the board, the fish toon declined just 34% in its second week to $31.3 million. Without the holiday, pic should decline slightly more, but it's expected to post a result in the high teens.

That's the kind of figure "Team America" has its sights on. Par distrib prexy Wayne Lewellen said, "The research shows it jumping fast, especially among young males."

Par sneaked the controversial pic (it took 10 revisions of a puppet sex scene before the MPAA would give it an R rating) last week in just over 600 locations.

"It's R rated, which really does affect you in the smaller markets," Lewellen said. "It's a difficult story to get across, which is one of the reasons we did the sneaks."

He said about 3,400 prints are being distribbed. "We expect the concentration of the gross to come from the big urban markets," he added.

Miramax has aggressively sneaked "Shall We Dance" over the past three weekends, unspooling the remake of a Japanese pic of the same name in more than 900 locations each weekend.

On the limited side, a host of pics are opening this weekend.

'Cut' bows

Lions Gate debuts Robin Williams sci-fi thriller "The Final Cut" on 117 screens, while Innovation is bowing "Stephen King's Riding the Bullet" on 108.

Fine Line's "Vera Drake" gets its first full weekend of release on two screens in New York. Helmed by Mike Leigh and starring Imelda Staunton, pic about an abortionist in post-war London grossed $13,207 last Sunday.

Newmarket unveils Topher Grace-Laura Linney romancer "P.S." on three screens in Gotham and the Bay Area. Sony Pictures Classics starts Annette Bening starrer "Being Julia," about an aging 1930s legit actress, on eight screens in Gotham and L.A.

Other limited openers include MGM's "The Dust Factory" and Lions Gate's Ray Romano family laffer "Eulogy," both debuting on 22.

In addition to "Riding the Bullet," Innovation unspools laffer "Hairshow" on 36 and coming-of-age drama "Spin" on nine, primarily in Arizona and Utah.

New Yorker is bowing "Moolaade," a fest fave about female genital mutilation in Africa, on two screens in Gotham.

Among major expansions this weekend, Focus is widening "The Motorcycle Diaries" to 250 screens, bulking up by 83. Fox Searchlight adds 21 runs of "I Heart Huckabees" for a total of 65.

Others increasing their play are Warner Independent's "Around the Bend," which expands to 27, up 23; "Stage Beauty," from Lions Gate, which goes from three to 21; and Thinkfilm's indie sci-fier "Primer," which moves into 15 new bookings for a total of 19.

'Shark' rips puppets
Swims away with $22.1 mil; 'Team' third with $12.3 mil

By Gabriel Snyder

DreamWorks' "Shark Tale" stayed on top for a third straight week, grossing $22.1 million, bringing its cume to $118.8 million. Fish toon and "The Passion of the Christ" are the only two films this year to place No. 1 on the box office chart for three weeks in a row.
As all films seem to be holding more of their weekend grosses from week to week, "Shark Tale" declined just 29% for the frame. That was a smaller drop than last week, when it was aided by the Columbus Day holiday on Monday.

Pic is currently the 12th biggest grosser of the year, but it should pass the three films ahead of it ("50 First Dates," "Van Helsing," and "Fahrenheit 9/11) in the next couple of days.

Neither of the weekend's new titles claimed overwhelming receipts. In fact, after Universal's "Friday Night Lights" stayed in the No. 2 spot for its second week, the same place where it debuted, taking in $13.1 million, a decline of 36%.

Of the fresh pics, raunchy puppet actioner Paramount's "Team America: World Police" came in on the low end of expectations, with $12.3 million from 2,539 locations.

Miramax scored on the higher end of its modest expectations for Richard Gere-Jennifer Lopez romancer "Shall We Dance," bringing in $11.6 million from 1,772 venues.

Rounding out the top five was Disney's "Ladder 49," which added $8.6 million to its cume, now standing at $53.9 million.

On the limited side, in its first full weekend of release, Fine Line's "Vera Drake" grossed $43,000 from two Gotham screens, an impressive per screen average of $21,500.

Among the holdovers, Focus Features kept "The Motorcycle Diaries" in the top ten, with $1.7 million, placing ninth, from 250 screens, an addition of 83 from last week. The expansion helped them increase their gross by 12% in the Che Guevera biopic's fourth frame. Cume now stands at $5.7 million.

Fox Searchlight's "I Heart Huckabees" finished just out of the top ten in its third frame, bringing in $920,000 from 65 screens, an average of $14,153, and boosting cume to $2.6 million.

'Shark' takes o'seas bite
'Tale' hauled home $29.5 mil for 4,100 locations

By Don Groves

The friendly sharks and hit man Tom Cruise dominated the B.O. action overseas last weekend, while "Ladder 49" was serviceable but no barn-burner as it began its offshore mission in Asia.
Biz was wafer-thin below the top one or two titles in most territories and blah in Japan, where "Exorcist: The Beginning" will face a quick ending after a lousy preem.

The frame's champ, "Shark Tale" hauled in $29.5 million from nearly 4,100 locations in 24 markets, propelling its cume to $55.5 million. The wannabe shark slayer grabbed $13.6 million on 510 prints in the U.K., including sneaks, outrunning the first "Shrek's" bow by 70%, and $4.2 million on 626 in France (16% bigger than the ogre).

DreamWorks toon wasn't quite as potent in Germany, netting $3.4 million on 684, probably impacted by local kidpivd "Laura's Stern" (which has pocketed $5.7 million in four weeks) and "Bibi Blocksberg 2" ($3.4 million in three).

"Shark" also swallowed $756,000 in Poland, $651,000 in Belgium and $502,000 in Austria, ranking No. 1 in all. Pic retained the lead in its soph sessions in Mexico (banking $5.1 million so far, off 30%) and Brazil ($2.3 million, down 35%), and has amassed a jaunty $6.1 million in Spain.

'Collateral' coin

"Collateral" trapped $11.2 million on around 2,170 screens in 20 markets, boosting cume to $59.5 million. Cruise vehicle seized $2.7 million on 260 in Italy, $2.2 million on 337 in Spain, $1.7 million on 223 in Australia and $471,000 in Turkey.

Thriller minted $1.6 million on 141 in South Korea, trailing local click "My Brother," which garnered $2.4 million in its second turn, slipping by 28%, bringing its market total to $7.8 million.

"The Terminal" mustered $6.1 million in 34 markets, powered by Russia's dandy $620,000 opener on 128 and Germany's $7.1 million in 11 days, abating by a mere 15%.

Its cume flew past domestic's to $83.6 million, and with Japan ahead, should reach $100 million.

'Ladder' hooks auds

"Ladder 49" caught $152,000 on 32 in Malaysia and $115,000 on 30 in the Philippines, No. 1 in both in a soft weekend. John Travolta starrer showed a bit more spark in Taiwan, taking $241,000 on 18, but that wasn't enough to beat "Shark Tale's" second weekend.

The "Exorcist" sequel fetched an estimated $561,000 on 212 in Japan, after sturdy entries in Southeast Asia.

For a pic that has racked up $80.6 million in the U.S, "The Notebook" has been an indifferent performer abroad, failing to resonate in markets such as the U.K. and Germany.

So New Line can take some heart from its respectable $994,000 debut on 155 Down Under, including sneaks.

"Open Water" hooked a reasonable $773,000 on 153 in Oz, but exhibs fear it will drop sharply next weekend. Divers-lost-at-sea saga has earned a fine $9 million in Blighty and a tidy $1.9 million in Italy, but sank without trace in Germany; its cume is around $17.5 million.

'Chick's' fair

"White Chicks" drew a fair $1.6 million on 326 in the U.K. and a mediocre $941,000 on 200 in Spain. Sony's laffer has yukked up a nifty $2.1 million in 10 days in Mexico (easing by a trifling 5%) and $1.9 million in 11 days in Germany (down 30%).

Indie horror pic "Saw" is showing remarkable resilience in the U.K., declining by just 15% to $1.5 million in its third outing, upping its cume to $8.1 million.

"Man on Fire" picked up a lukewarm $1.1 million on 304 in France and a relatively healthier $305,000 on 41 in Belgium, raising its cume to $31.3 million, with only Japan ahead.

"DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story" bounced into Taiwan with $301,000 on 72, with previews, sending its cume to $45.5 million, with Italy and Japan still to come.

Chinese helmer Zhang Yimou's "Hero" slid by 49% to $1 million in Italy, scoring an impressive $4 million in 10 days. Its estimated cume levitated to $113 million, including the U.K.'s $5.7 million through its fourth adventure.

Sorry, this posting was late and didn't get the final boxoffice in my E mail so the estimates were posted at the head of this thread.

Auds keep 'Grudge' on top
'Ray' takes big bow

By Gabriel Snyder

Halloween weekend was a good one for horror pics. Sony's "The Grudge" stayed strong in its second week, claiming the weekend's top spot with $22.4 million, a decline of 42% from its opening three days.
In the No. 2 spot, Universal's "Ray," the Ray Charles biopic it is distribbing for Phil Anschutz's Bristol Bay Prods., opened stronger than expected with $20.1 million from 2,006 playdates, averaging $10,025 per theater.

Just below it, Lions Gate transformed another low-budget festival frightener into a commercial success with "Saw" bowing to $17.4 million from 2,315 locations.

Also opening this weekend was New Line's Nicole Kidman thriller "Birth," which scored up $1.7 million from 550 venues and placed 11th for the weekend.

Rounding out the top five were DreamWorks' fish toon "Shark Tale" with $8.1 million, the first 7-figure weekend of its five-week run, and Miramax's Richard Gere-Jennifer Lopez romancer "Shall We Dance" with $6.3 million.

Overall weekend was down yet again. Nielsen EDI estimates total box office for the frame at $99 million, off 7% from last year's tepid Halloween frame, which featured no new wide releases and biz was driven by holdovers "Scary Movie 3," "Brother Bear," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

The Variety estamates show "The Incredibles" really defined what Blockbuster means, coming in at a whopping over $70M. With overwhelmingly great reviews, it could be hard to beat for total box office this year. It's aiming at "Shrek" and "The Passion of the Christ."

How National Treasure came in first over the weekend, despite the limp reviews, just boggles my mind.

Jerry Bruckheimer knows how to pack 'em in even if it's a less-than-successful offering. There's been a lot of big box office films this year that are really getting boloxed by the critics. I'll have the final figures tomorrow.

You're so polite about it, LW.
I'm trying to be polite - so won't repost my initial review of it. :wink:

If I ever do see it, it would be with some idle time and it happens onto cable. I'm tired of Hollywood potboiler action flicks. Ebert and Roeper reamed the movie a new a-hole.

yeh but who the hell watches anything like spongebob?
Besides Simpsons,Family Guy, and Southhpark, there is no animated stuff thats worthy of a movie. Why havent they ever made a SImpsons Feature??

I'd save National Treasure for when you're already asleep. Can ya tell I really really thought it was a waste of a free pass?

we watched HArry Potter III "Azkaban" last night. We all thought it was the best of the HArry Potter flicks. I felt sorry for the werewolf, and Mrs F cried at the Griffon getting whacked

I'd rather watch "National Pleasure." (Or indulge in it myself).

I am anxious to see the third one while only mildly attracted to the first two "Harry Potter."

Estimates reveal "Treasure" as still king of the box office and "Alexander" clocks in at a respectable figure even at 6th place. I was expecting a log from Oliver Stone and trying to decide whether to see it at a THX theater (the closest is near Disneyland from my home).
