Weekend Box Office, $5 Off "The Scorpion King"

In a rather disappointing weekend at the box office, last week's champ, Barbershop, was number one again, raking in another 13.3 million. In a decent second place finish was the new independent comedy The Banger Sisters with 10.3 million, all while My Big Fat Greek Wedding dropped a spot instead of reaching first place, bring in another solid 10 million, taking its tally to nearly 125 million dollars. Wow.

Tying for fourth were two new high profile releases: Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever (what a crappy title for a movie) and possible awards contender The Four Feathers, each with 7.1 million. One Hour Photo brought in another 4.5 million, while Signs continues to drop down with 3.5 million.

Also making 3.5 million this weekend is the dud comedy Stealing Harvard, followed by Swimfan with 3.4 million and little publicized Trapped with a plain pathetic 3.2 million.

Now then, are any of you planning to pick up "The Scorpion King" on DVD next week? Then you might find this coupon from our friends at Electric Artists some help. There, you can print a very nifty five dollar off coupon for the DVD, valid at any offline store you happen to go to pick it up. Please note this page will only be up until October 5th, and that the last day you can use the coupon is October 6th. Definently a very nice deal, and a special thanks to Electric Artists again. And look for the DVDlaunch take on The Rock's big screen debut within the next few days...

Enjoy!
