Box Office Report - March 23-25
300 lost its hold on first place to another Warner Bros Pictures film, TMNT. The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film to be a CGI creation rather than actors in Turtles costumes did better than the live-action installments, hauling in $24 million and knocking the action epic 300 into second place. The Mark Wahlberg thriller Shooter finished third, however the rest of the weekend's new releases didn't fare quite as well. Audiences all but ignored Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle's post-9/11 drama, Reign Over Me as well as the Terrence Howard/Bernie Mac film, Pride.Top 10 Films for the Weekend Ending 3/25/07:
