I honestly have no idea what sort of person would willingly pay money to see an unholy abomination like Big Momma’s House 2, but I’m absolutely certain I don’t want to know them. And that’s a significant number of people judging by the inexplicable $28 million opening, twice the amount that sorceress babysitter Nanny McPhee conjured from the pockets of visiting brats and their guardians.
In its second week, Underworld: Evolution put a stake in the wallet of the military academy movie Annapolis, while Brokeback and Hoodwinked held strong. The Pierce Brosnan assassin comedy The Matador makes the hit on a few hundred more screens, while Tristram Shandy and Roving Mars have the most impact of the limited releases.
Next weekend gets us into a brand new month with even more boring choices, namely the romcom Something New (which almost definitely is not) and the horror remake When a Stranger Calls (the calls are coming from inside the house — I just saved you 10 bucks).
