Lucky Number Slevin? Try Number 5
Welcome back to Weekends at TDI. I'm your host, Charles Jurries. Here at Weekends, we perform two vital services. First, we tell you how the stocks have performed from week-to-week, so you have something to talk about with your smart friends. Secondly, we give you some fun entertainment information; the box office winners. So we have information that might actually matter, and then some information that's just plain fun.
This week, the Dow Jones continued to slip, just weeks after going into record-breaking territory. Investors in the Nasaq and the S&P 500 are holding their breath; those markets were virtually unchanged this week. We just checked out crystal ball, and we saw no big economic news planned for this week. Which in reality means that there will be huge breaking news in the financial district. We'll let you know when/if that happens.
And now, it's the moment you've been waiting for: the box office scoreboard. The family-friendly animated film Ice Age 2 continued to lead the pack at the cinemas, though it's earnings were about half from it's debut weekend. The Josh Hartnett/Bruce Willis/Ben Kinsley/Morgan Freeman/Lucy Liu/EVERYONE ELSE IN HOLLYWOOD film Lucky Number Slevin wasn't so lucky with filmgoers; the mob thriller debuted in fifth place with just over $7 million. Thank You For Smoking continues to add theaters week-to-week, and they garnered enough eyeballs in their fourth week of release to sneak into the top ten.
Next week, Scary Movie 4 tries to scare up enough comedy lovers to the box office, while The Wild, starring the voice of Keither Sutherland, tries to steal the young-kids-who-like-animated-animal-movies audience away from Ice Age 2. Stay tuned to The Delta Institute Newsblog for more news and entertainment notes, and come back this next weekend to find out how the Box Office is faring in this early spring season!
