"Next Friday" Ices Competition
Next Friday, the sequel to Ice Cube's 1995 hit hip-hop comedy, which opened midweek, was the top box-office attraction earning an estimated $17 million during the four-day Martin Luther King Jr. holiday--double its modest production budget.
The New Line release has easily iced the competition since its Wednesday release, having earned $19.1 million and averaging a seat-filling $13,146 per screen at 1,103 outlets in that span.
Meanwhile, the cheery rodent movie Stuart Little continued to attract family business in second place, with another $12.6 million during the holiday, squeaking past the $100 million mark after five weeks. Tom Hanks' prison drama The Green Mile also edged by that milestone by earning another $8.7 million in fifth place. That made 19 films released in 1999 to have crossed that line, a new record.
Two Oscar hopefuls benefited from wider release to land in the Top 10. Denzel Washington seeking justice in The Hurricane earned an estimated $10.7 million for third place and the Winona Ryder-Angelina Jolie take on life in an asylum, Girl, Interrupted, took in $9.6 million for fourth.
The latest alien-in-deep-space adventure, Supernova, with a crew headed by Angela Bassett and James Spader, entered the Top 10 list at less than warp speed in eighth place with $6.6 million. The film was not screened for critics last week--usually a bad sign.
At just 54 locations, Fantasia/2000, Disney's updated IMAX version of the classic toon, averaged $42,593 for a three-day total of $2.3 million. (Estimates for Monday were not available.)
Here's how the Top 10 lined up, according to Exhibitor Relations:
1. Next Friday, $17 million
2. Stuart Little, $12.6 million
3. The Hurricane, $10.7 million
4. Girl, Interrupted, $9.6 million
5. The Green Mile, $9.7 million
6. Galaxy Quest, $8 million
7. The Talented Mr. Ripley, $7 million
8. Supernova, $6.6 million
9. Toy Story 2, $6.5 million
10. Any Given Sunday, $5.7 million
