No joy in Mudville over Friday’s figures. I was hoping Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would suffer a heavy drop this weekend (for his own good, Tim Burton needs to be bitch-slapped but good), but it took in $9 million on Friday and will probably end up with $25 million or so for the weekend. There’s really no accounting for taste, especially when it comes to the family trade. Wedding Crashers is holding quite nicely, on track to earn a bit more than $20 million for the weekend. Hustle & Flow took in $2.7 million on Friday — you do the math — but it will probably hold its ground in the coming weeks.
