"Home" Run, $5 Off "The Scorpion King" still...

Despite the mediocre reviews (I certainly thought it was "meh"), Sweet Home Alabama's record breaking box office intake of 35.6 million is certainly enough to show people want romantic comedies and that Reese Whiterspoon is a star. This should be a big hit for Disney this fall, and is definently a typical crowdpleaser. In a somewhat distant second was the delayed Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt action flick The Tuxedo, settling in with a decent 15 million. Barbershop brought in another 10 million while My Big Fat Greek Wedding took in another 9.4 million. Yowza wowza!

The Banger Sisters took in another 5.4 million which is pretty disappointing, while The Four Feathers seems to be a pretty epic bomb, only tallying in 3.5 million this week. One Hour Photo brought in another 3 million, while Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, Signs and Swimfan each respectively added on 2.7, 2.3 and 1.5 million to their totals.

So are any of you planning to pick up "The Scorpion King" on DVD this 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 next week... will Hannibal take a bite out of the box office? We shall see.
