Never mind its R-rating, Sony’s teen laffer “Superbad” enjoyed super hold at the weekend box office, easily taking No. 1, while Universal-Working Title’s Brit pic “Mr. Bean’s Holiday” showed surprise strength in opening ahead of other new entries.
Still, the final weekend of summer before kids begin returning to school on Monday belonged to holdovers as “Superbad” teamed up with Universal’s “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “Rush Hour 3” to claim the top three spots on the weekend box chart.
Among the new entries, “Mr. Bean” came in No. 4, unexpectedly pulling ahead of Lionsgate’s Jet Li-Jason Statham starrer “War” and the Weinstein Co.-MGM’s “The Nanny Diaries,” starring Scarlett Johansson and based on the book of the same name. “War” took No. 5, while “Diaries” took No. 6.
“Superbad” made an estimated $18 million from 2,948 locations in its second frame, a decline of 46%. In its first 10 days, film has grossed $68.5 million, the best showing for an R-rated pic this year after Warner Bros.’ “300” and the third-best perf for a comedy after “Wild Hogs” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.”
“Bourne” declined 38% in its fourth frame to an estimated $12.3 million from 2,679 locations for a cume of $185.1 million, coming in No. 2.
Taking No. 3 was New Line’s “Rush Hour 3,” which grossed an estimated $11.5 million from 3,408 runs for a cume of $109 million in its third frame, a decline of 43%.
Coming in next was “Mr. Bean,” starring Rowan Atkinson, came in No. 4, grossing an estimated $10.1 million from 1,714 locations in its debut.
“War” opened at $10 million from 2,277 runs, while “Diaries” opened at $7.8 million from 2,629 theaters.
In its fifth frame, 20th Century Fox’s “The Simpsons Move” took No. 7 and passed the $170 million mark, grossing an estimated $4.4 million from 1,692 theaters for a cume of $173.4 million, a decline of 36%.
