jackass number two

Jackass: Number Two was the number one movie in the weekend. The original Jackass also opened at number one but only took in $22 million while Jackass: Number Two made over $28 million. A real surprise for me! Anyway, the number two film was Jet Li’s Fearless which made only $10 million. Flyboys crashed into fourth place with only $6 million and the All The King’s Men into seventh with $3.8 million.

Next weekend, three movies will be opening. A huge triple release. Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner’s Coast Guard drama The Guardian, Billy Bob Thorton and John Heder’s comedy School for Scoundrels and the CG animated Open Season.
