Critics were about as kind as a swarm of killer houseflies to the remake of The Amityville Horror, but bad reviews don’t keep audiences away as this year continues to prove. The Michael Bay-produced update gained $23.3 million worth of real estate, nudging Matthew McConaughey’s sandy adventure flick down to second place.
The remainder of the chart more or less stabilized, with Sin City slipping down past the Red Sox romance Fever Pitch, which stole third for the second week of baseball season. Lower on th chart, Kung Fu Hustle continues to punch up big bucks on its few NY/LA screens.
Next weekend makes me wish summer would hurry up and officially begin, with the Ashton Kutcher romcom A Lot Like Love, the Penn/Kidman political thriller The Interpreter and the Anthony Anderson comedy King’s Ransom to pick from (or not).
