Pirates Still Rule: Knocked Up Is A Hit

Posted on June 4, 2007

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End topped the box office this past weekend, making $43,188,000, which is a big (62.4%) drop from its opening weekend. In second place was Knocked Up starring Katherine Heigl, which made $29,284,000 in an outstanding debut for a comedy. Judd Apatow, who also directed 40 Year Old Virgin is hot, hot, hot in Hollywood now.

In third place was Shrek the Third, which made $26,704,000, bringing its total take to date to $254,611,000. Mr. Brooks, the Demi Moore/Kevin Costner thriller, came in at a disappointing fourth place making $10,020,000. The per theater take was good, however, at $4,084.

In fifth place was Spider-Man 3, which made another $7,500,000, bringing its take to date to $318,264,000.
