The Cell tops the Box Office

The science fiction thriller movie The Cell premiered in the No. 1 box-office slot on the weekend of Aug. 18, taking in an estimated $17.2 million. And according to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie was star Jennifer Lopez's biggest opening ever, and I also think that it's mostly due to that fine piece of ass.

Space Cowboys took the No. 3 slot in its third weekend of release, earning an estimated $9.9 million, for a total so far of $54.2 million. What Lies Beneath rose a spot, from sixth to fifth place, taking in an estimated $7.1 million for a total of $123.7 million after five weeks in release. But Hollow Man was fading fast, dropping to No. 7 with $6.1 million for the weekend, or a total of $61.7 million after three weeks of release.

Godzilla 2000 opened in the 11th slot with an estimated $4.6 million. Chicken Run and The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps finished out of the top 10 and became the latest movies this year to surpass $100 million in total box office earnings.
