Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Tops the Box Office

Screencap from Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver SurferFantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer topped the box office this past weekend, making an estimated $57,400,000. Critics hated it, but fans loved it and showed up in droves for the opening. The per theater take was a very nice $14,498. In second place was Ocean's Thirteen, which made $19,105,000, bringing its take to date to a very healthy $69,810,000. That's great for two weeks out, and you know that one will make a fortune on DVD.

In third place was Universal's Knocked Up, which made another $14,535,000, bringing the romantic comedy's take to date to $90,482,000, which is absolutely stunning for a low budget comedy. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End held on to fourth place, making another $12,024,000. The film's take to date is $273,757,000.

Also debuting this weekend was Nancy Drew starring Julia Roberts' niece Emma Roberts. The WB film earned a disappointing $7,135,000 in 2,612 theaters. Reviews were mixed, with the consensus being that the film was kind of bland. Nothing offensive, but no pep.
