Columbia and New Line's PG-13 rated comedy Mr. Deeds held on to fifth place in its fourth week, still showing good legs with an ESTIMATED $7.3 million (-33%) at 2,823 theaters (-416 theaters; $2,586 per theater). Deeds, which was made for only $55 million, has a cume of approximately $107.6 million.
Directed by Steven Brill, it stars Adam Sandler and Winona Ryder.
"We crossed the $100 million mark on Thursday, day 21," Sony's Jeff Blake said. "It's continued good news on Deeds. There's nothing like a summer comedy to really hold in the market. It continues to stay in the Top Five despite the new openings. We're certainly hoping for $125-130 million (in domestic theaters)."
Buena Vista/Touchstone and Spyglass Entertainment's Reign of Fire, a Zanuck Company production, dropped three slots to sixth place in its second week with a less hot ESTIMATED $7.1 million (-54%) at 2,629 theaters (theater count unchanged; $2,695 per theater). Its cume is approximately $29.0 million.
Directed by Rob Bowman, it stars Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale.
Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow's PG-13 rated horror film Eight Legged Freaks opened in seventh place to a disappointing ESTIMATED $6.7 million at 2,530 theaters ($2,648 per theater). Its cume after five days is approximately $9.3 million.
Directed by Ellory Elkayem, it stars David Arquette.
"It was a co-venture between us and Village Roadshow," Warner Bros. Distribution president Dan Fellman said Sunday morning. "It's not a very expensive movie so nobody's going to get hurt. It's a little disappointing for us. The exits were pretty good so we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out."
Miramax's Dimension Films launched its R rated horror sequel Halloween: Resurrection added theaters in its second week but still plummeted four pegs to eighth place with a deadly ESTIMATED $5.4 million (-56%) at 2,094 theaters (+140 theaters; $2,578 per theater). Its cume is approximately $21.8 million.
Directed by Rick Rosenthal, it stars Jamie Lee Curtis.
