More "Panic"

Once again, Panic Room took the top spot for the weekend with a healthy gross of 18.2 million. I finally checked it out, and it was great. One of the best thrillers I've seen in years (can't wait for that special edition DVD release!). In second was newcomer legal thriller High Crimes with 14 million. In third was Ice Age with 13.5 million, The Rookie was fourth with 11.7 and then Blade II with 7.4 million more.

Newcomer National Lampoon's Van Wilder performed decent with 7.3 million, while Clockstoppers timed in (HAHAHAHA I MADE A FUNNY) with 7.2 million. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial only tacked on 3.5 million more to its re-release. The delayed comedy (blame 9/11) Big Trouble tanked with 3.5 and A Beautiful Mind took in 2.5 more.
