Box Office Report - January 26th 2009
Not much change in the U.S. box office this week, Kevin James' Paul Blart: Mall Cop was on top again this week adding $21.6 mil* to bring its total for two weeks up to almost $65 mil. The newest Underworld Film Rise of the Lycans was at number two with nearly $21 million. Gran Torino is still doing solid business at number 3 with just over $16 million meaning it will have broken over a hundred million dollars by next week. Hotel for Dogs moves up a place and adds $12.8 mil to take its two week total to $37 mil, the constant award acknowledgement and expanding release for Slumdog Millionaire moves it up five spaces and also doubles its gross from last week earning nearly $11 million and taking its total to $56 million. My Bloody Valentine takes in another $10 mil and the other new entry Inkheart makes a disappointing debut with $7.6 million, Bride Wars at 8 making $6.8 million taking its total to about $48 million. Benjamin Button although nabbing 13 oscar nominations has still yet to turn a profit from its $150 million budget, the film made just over $6 million this week and has a domestic total of $111 million so far and its worldwide gross is only about $134 million. rounding off at number ten is Notorious making $5.7 mil with a total of nearly $32 million.
