Daddy Day Camp opened and closed yesterday — 2000 theatres, $350 a print, $700-odd thousand, dead.
General awareness in Superbad is still low — eight days until the 8.17 opening and it’s still at a lousy 51% — but the definite interest is up to 35% and the first choice has shot up to 5%, so it’s getting there. And Balls of Fury (Rogue, 8.29), a comedy about extreme ping-pong, is showing early strength — 53, 37 and 2. It could move.
Rush Hour 3 (8.10) still looks like it’ll do a healthy $50 million plus…97, 50 and 22. Skinwalkers (8.10 also) is at 28, 22 and 2. Stardust (ditto) is at.67, 29 9…modest business, $10 million-plus.
The Invasion (8.17) is 64, 27 and 2….very weak. The Last Legion (8.17) is nowhere…21, 22 and 1 The Superbad uptick is good but it needs a lot more heat than it has right now.
Mr. Bean’s Holiday (8.24) is 46, 20 and 1. The Nanny Diairies is at 47, 20 and 2 Resurrecting the Champ is at 22, 25 and 1. September Dawn….16,14 and 0. War…37, 35 and 3
