RERUN AT THE MULTIPLEX
For the second week in a row,
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and
Wedding Crashers were the Nos. 1 and 2 movies at the box office (
Charlie took in an additional $28.3 million;
Crashers, another $26.2). That was bad news indeed for
Bad News Bears and the week's other new releases.
Bears scored only $11.5 million for a fifth-place finish,
The Island, with a sadly nonsinging
Ewan McGregor, made $12.1 million to settle in fourth, and
Rob Zombie's horror sequel,
The Devil's Rejects, scared up $7 million to land at No. 8. The indie
Hustle & Flow came in at No. 7 with $8.1 million, but since it was playing on one-third fewer screens than
Bears, that's nothing to sneeze at.
