The weekend box office receipts have been tallied up, and Shia LaBeouf’s Disturbia is again the No.1 movie in the country — for the third week in a row. The suspense/thriller took in just $9.1 million, one of the lowest weekly grosses for a No.1 movie in years. A couple of my friends have seen this film and say it’s a total Rear Window ripoff that doesn’t even acknowledge the Hitchcock classic as an “inspiration” or whatever. Hmmm.
At any rate, second place went to Disney’s The Invisible, starring Justin Chatwin and Margarita Levieva. I’ve never heard of either of these two actors, and the plot doesn’t sound that good, so I think I’m going to pass on this one. Nicolas Cage’s latest effort, Next, came in third with just $7.2 million in its first weekend in wide release.
Here’s the complete top 10 for 4/29/07:
- Disturbia, $9.1 million
- The Invisible, $7.6 million
- Next, $7.2 million
- Fracture, $7.1 million
- Blades of Glory, $5.2 million
- Meet the Robinsons, $4.84 million
- Hot Fuzz, $4.8 million
- Vacancy, $4.2 million
- The Condemned, $4 million
- Are We Done Yet?, $3.4 million
