HOLLYWOOD
- As the last threequel of the summer,
Rush Hour 3
made its mark at the North American box office this weekend with a $50.2 million take, enough to push last week's top film
The Bourne Ultimatum
into second place with $33.7 million.
The third installment of the
Jackie Chan
-
Chris Tucker
buddy cop franchise did not do as well as its predecessor
Rush Hour 2
, which took in $67.4 million when it was released in 2001. But it was the sixth threequel of the summer to open as a weekend's top film and it ranks as the fourth best August opening on record.
Other openers this weekend included the fantasy tale
Stardust
, starring
Michelle Pfeiffer
,
Claire Danes
and
Robert De Niro
, which debuted in fourth place with $9 million, and the comedy sequel
Daddy Day Camp
, starring
Cuba Gooding Jr
., which opened in 10th place with $3.5 million.
The Top 12 movies took in $141.9 million, up 29.79 percent from last year’s total of $109.3 million but down 13.78 percent from last weekend’s total of $164.6 million. This makes it the fifth “up” weekend in a row from last year.
"We've been riding a wave of momentum that started with
Transformers
in July," Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers told The Associated Press. "We already stand at $3.6 billion at the box office. The $4 billion summer, once thought an impossibility, is definitely within reach."
The Top Three films at the box office this time last year: Sony’s
Talladega Nights
, which stayed at No. 1 in its second week with $22.1 million in 3,807 theaters, averaging $5,812 per theater; Buena Vista’s
Step Up
, which opened in second place with $20.6 million in 2,467 theaters, averaging $8,374 per theater; and Paramount’s
World Trade Center
, which opened in third place with $18.7 million in 2,957 theaters, averaging $6,334 per theater (
