Box Office: Pang Brothers eye the #1 spot
BANGCOCK DANGEROUS took the #1 spot during a weak weekend at the box office. Opening in 2,650 theatres, the action-packed remake from the Pang Brothers (who gave us the excellent ghost story THE EYE in 2002) earned only $7.8-million, but that was good enough to knock TROPIC THUNDER down to #2 after two weekends on top.
THE DARK KNIGHT held strong at #3, earning $5.5-million and raising its eight-week total to just under $512-million.
BABYLON A.D. met an early apocalypse, dropping from #2 to #6 in its sophomore session, earning $4.2-million for a two-week total of $17.4-million.
DEATH RACE skidded from sixth to seventh place , adding $3.7-million to its three-week total of $29.9-million.
DISASTER MOVIE imploded from #7 to #8 with $3.0-mil, yielding a two-week total of $10.6-million. It may not be funny, but in terms of ticket sales, the title turns out to be admirably accurate.
