Confessions 2nd, Eurotrip 5th at the Box Office
Movie-goers have not forgotten “50 First Dates.”
The Adam Sandler-Drew Barrymore romance about a man wooing a
memory-challenged woman took in $21 million to remain the top movie for a
second weekend, easily fending off a rush of new flicks, according to
studio estimates Sunday. Lindsay Lohan’s girl-power comedy “Confessions of
a Teenage Drama Queen” led the weak batch of newcomers, grossing $9.2
million for the No. 2 spot.
The teen-raunch comedy “Eurotrip,” about a high school graduate’s quest
to find his dream girl in Germany, opened in fifth place with $6.6
million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at North American
theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures will be
released Monday.
1. “50 First Dates,” $21 million.
2. “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,” $9.2 million.
3. “Miracle,” $8 million.
