Resurrection

Thanks to the Easter holiday weekend, The Passion Of The Christ jolted back to the top spot at the box office with a strong 15.2 million. Taking a big slide was Hellboy which dropped a spot and made 10.8 million over the weekend. In a surprise third was the comedy Johnson Family Vacation with 9.4 million, but flopping in fourth was Disney's delayed The Alamo bringing in a pitiful 9.1 million.

Walking Tall came in fifth 8.4 million and the animated Home On The Range held its own with 8.1 million. Another family-geared film, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed took in another 8 million and seems quite likely now that it won't even reach 100 million.

Roudning out the top ten were three news releases that were dead on arrival: the panned sequel The Whole Ten Yards with 6.6 million, the family fairy tale romance Ella Enchanted with 6.1 million and finally, the teen comedy The Girl Next Door with 6 million.

Next week, The Bride is back. Need I say more, DVD fans?
