B.O. ANALYSIS: This Weekend's a Tough Call
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., August 2, 2000 -- Predicting this weekend's box office is enough to drive anyone a little "Nutty." If Eddie Murphy's "Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps" has big legs, it stands to hold on to the top spot. The PG-13-rated comedy sequel from Universal and Imagine Entertainment could drop 50 percent from last weekend's $42.5 million opening and still place first with around $21 million. Directed by Peter Segal, it stars Eddie Murphy, Janet Jackson and Larry Miller. Columbia's open

B.O. ANALYSIS: 'Bring It On' Could Bring It Back
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., August 31, 2000 -- It's cheerleaders vs. immortals this weekend, and insiders are betting the beauties will beat the beasts.

May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., September 17, 2000 -- There was lots of Olympic Gold but very little box office gold this weekend.
