Weekend Box Office

A pretty decent weekend at the box office, as the new Colin Farrel and Al Pacino thriller The Recruit debuted at the top of the box office with a healthy 16.3 million. Close behind with 16 million was the teen horror sequel Final Destination, which stands a good chance of topping the success of the first one, which was a sleeper hit. Biker Boyz, another newcomer *COUGHfastandthefuriousripCOUGH*, took in a decent 10.1 million. Kangaroo Jack and Chicago also brought in respectable 9 and 7 million totals for the weekend to add to their rather strong tallys.

Last weekend's winner, Darkness Falls, dropped to sixth but still took in a nice 7 million. The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers also continues to fall bringing in 5 million while Catch Me If You Can also caught around the same amount as Frodo and company. Rounding it all out for the weekend is Just Married with 4.8 million and About Schmidt with 4.5 million.

Stay tuned as February sweeps in with some major new releases...
