Charlie & The Chocolate Factory & The Wedding Crashers Reamin Atop the Box Office
Charlie, starring Johnny Depp and helmed by Tim Burton, unwrapped an estimated $28.3 million, down 50% from its debut a week ago. Thanks in part to strong mid-week business the PG-rated feature crossed the $100 million mark on Saturday -- in nine days -- as its cume to date advanced to $114.1 million. The Owen Wilson-Vince Vaughn starrer Crashers scored an estimated $26.2 million in its sophomore frame, down a scant 23% from its opening. The R-rated comedy has gleaned an estimated $80.9 million in 10 days.
Fantastic Four pulled in $22.9 million, Madagascar made $20.3 million, War of the Worlds earned an estimated $17.5 million, The Island corralled $10.5 million, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory made $5.6 million over the weekend at the international boxoffice, according to estimates.
After scrumptious domestic returns, Warner Bros. opened Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in seven new markets, grossing a total from 11 territories of about $5.6 million from 1,238 screens and 960,000 admissions. This brings the cumulative total for the collaboration between director Tim Burton and star Johnny Depp to about $12.1 million.
In Brazil, roughly $1 million from 334 screens brought the remake in ahead of holdovers Fantastic Four and Madagascar and the opening of The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. In Holland, Charlie's No. 1 bow of $773,000 from 35,000 admissions and 123 prints surpassed opening totals for Fantastic Four by 141% and Herbie: Fully Loaded by 111% and was on par with recent family hit Madagascar.
