Strong "Sugar"

With a slew of new releases this weekend, it's unfortuante to say that most of them didn't fare well over the weekend, not to mention most of them scored negative reviews (Swept Away is a sure fire Razzie winner, hell, it bombed in its limited release too!). In number one again was Red Dragon, with a rather large dip with 17.6 million. In second was Sweet Home Alabama with 14.2 million, followed by the strongest release of all the newcomers: Brown Sugar with 10.7 million.

Everything else was down hill. The delayed action flick The Transporter scored 9.1 million over the weekend, while My Big Fat Greek Wedding is still bringing them in with 8.4 million. The Tuxedo took in 7 million, while White Oleander flopped 5.6 million. Tuck Everlasting won't last too long with 5.2 million, all while the Vin Diesel cash-in Knockaround Guys and Barbershop each took in 5 and 4 million.
