LOS ANGELES (AP) – Moviegoers rewarded Jane Fonda’s return to the big screen by making “Monster-in-Law” the weekend’s top movie, though the comedy was short of a monster hit.
The total box office slump continued for a 12th straight week, but the force is expected to return next week when the final chapter in the Star Wars saga – “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith,” – hits theaters.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc.
Final figures will be released Monday.
1. “Monster-in-Law,” $24 million.
2. “Kicking & Screaming,” $21 million.
3. “Unleashed,” $10.6 million.
4. “Kingdom of Heaven,” $9.6 million.
5. “Crash,” $7.2 million.
6. “House of Wax,” $6.3 million.
7. “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” $4.8 million.
8. “The Interpreter,” $4.4 million.
9. “XXX: State of the Union,” $2.2 million.
10. “Mindhunters,” $2 million.
