The Messengers Tops the Box Office

Posted on February 6, 2007

Super Bowl weekend is traditionally one of the worse box office weekends of the year, and this year was no exception. In first place was The Messengers, a horror flick where little children see awful things, which made $14,713,321. In second place was the Because I Said So starring Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore, which made $13,122,865, despite absolutely devastatingly bad reviews.

In third place was Epic Movie, a spoof of -- you guessed it, epic movies -- which made $8,411,993. In fourth place was the juggernaut Ben Stiller film, Night at the Museum, which made another $6,385,843, putting its domestic gross to date at $225 million. Does this mean that Dick Van Dyke will get offered more film roles? Because we think Ben Stiller should add him to his brat pack, along with Owen Wilson.
