Mr. 3000 $2,601,000 THIS WEEKEND Mr. July became Mr. October as Will Smith set a new opening weekend record for the fall month with the computer-animated hit Shark Tale which helped to put some bite back into a slumping box office. Also opening well was the firefighter drama Ladder 49 which placed second for the weekend. For the first time in seven weeks, the top ten films broke the $100M mark and for the first time in five weeks the marketplace powered ahead of last year. It was the weekend that exhibitors have desperately been waiting for.
October 4, 200421 yr Sky Captain really isn't doing very well. That's bad news for fans of that new style of film making, it's also bad for the upcoming Sin City which is also done that way.
