J.Lo's "Wedding Planner" Looks Good
The teaming of glamorous Jennifer Lopez and handsome Matthew McConaughey proved attractive enough to make The Wedding Planner number one at the box office. The romantic comedy caught the bouquet with an estimated $14 million.
Targeted at female teens, the movie was not unduly impacted by the national obsession with football over the weekend. Its debut was timed to coincide with the release of Lopez's J.Lo album (which could top the album charts this week) and the film's stars promoted the movie here, there and everywhere, including arriving together at the Golden Globes. All told, the Sony release pulled in an respectable, though not stunning, $5,027 per screen at 2,765 sites.
Also debuting in the top 10 was Sugar & Spice, a campy comedy that spoofs high school genre flicks. The New Line release, starring a bevy of teen babes as bank-robbing cheerleaders, kicked into fifth, earned a modest $6 million. The film, which was not screened for critics (always a bad sign), only averaged $2,802 at 2,150 theaters
Holding on with a higher per screen average was the hip-hop drama Save the Last Dance. After two weeks at number one, it was pushed down to second place, but still earned an estimated $10 million and has now grossed $59.5 million.
And still maintaining the best per screen average in the top 10 was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Fresh off its Golden Globe wins for Best Foreign-Language Film and Best Director (Ang Lee), the martial arts fantasy scored $5,846 at 868 sites to edge up two slots into sixth place with $5 million.
According to the box-office bean counters at Exhibitor Relations, here are the weekend's top 10 flicks:
1. The Wedding Planner, $14 million
2. Save the Last Dance, $10 million
3. Cast Away, $8.9 million
4. Traffic, $6.4 million
5. Sugar & Spice, $6 million
6. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, $5 million
7. Snatch, $4.8 million
8. Finding Forrester, 4.8 million
9. What Women Want, $4.3 million
10. Miss Congeniality, $3.9 million
