while it's not the top steller opening, I would figure they were shooting for more of a 30 range for opening. Though at the price and the sure amount they are expecting out of a DVD sale, it will do just fine.

No shock that Amityville is doing well...considering there's absolutely NOTHING above-average playing right now. The closest thing to a "good" movie out there is SIN CITY - and even that isn't quite good enough for me to recommend.
Hopefully, THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY will liven up the box office doldrums in a few weeks.

Gut instinct is telling me Fever Pitch will wind up with slightly less than displayed, and Sin City with slightly more.
Fantastic numbers for Kung Fu Hustle.

I can't sit though Forrest Gump or Spider-man, but I'm not going to say they aren't "good" movies, they just aren't my types of film.

They didn't.
SAHARA's money came from various sources. It isn't all Paramount.

Anyone know what The Ring Two's budget was? $75MM seems like a good take for a movie that was so notoriously hated by the critics. My guess is the budget should be about $60MM or so --- making it a bit more profitable than a lot of people hoped.

"The Amityville Horror's" budget was $19 mil. Looks like it'll bring a nice profit for MGM and more than likely spawn a sequel or two. Cheaply made horror flicks is the trend nowadays.
