August 29, 200520 yr August 26-28 1.) The 40-Year-Old Virgin $16,434,000 2.) The Brothers Grimm $15,093,000 3.) Red Eye $10,400,000 4.) Four Brothers $7,825,000 5.) Wedding Crashers $6,250,000 Rising comedy star Steve Carell remained at number one for the second consecutive weekend with the hit film The 40-Year-Old Virgin which displayed a remarkably strong hold in its sophomore frame. The Matt Damon-Heath Ledger adventure The Brothers Grimm, which was widely expected to premiere on top, settled for a decent debut in the runnerup spot. Other new releases The Cave and Undiscovered saw disappointing results in their openings as moviegoers chose to catch up on holdover titles during the dog days of summer.

August 29, 200520 yr I'm going to see Virgin on Friday when I go back out to school. I already saw Four Brothers and Wedding Crashers. I think I'm going with friends to see The Brothers Grimm and The Aristocrats next week, too.
August 29, 200520 yr Do yourself a favor and don't go see Brothers Grimm. I didnt know what to expect because the previews didnt show much, but it is really a kids movie, and not a very good one at that.
August 29, 200520 yr Its not a kids movie. It's a Terry Gilliam movie where story is sacrificed for visuals. Like every Terry Gilliam movie, visuals come first. Which are - quite stunning at times.
August 29, 200520 yr 40 yo virgin ! "feels like a bag of sand" LMAO! Edited August 29, 200520 yr by rangercal

Labeling "Undiscovered" a disappointment is an undetstatement. This movie grossed nearly $700,000--averaging out to $530 per theater. "Gigli," in comparison, averaged $2,000 per theater and was considered a monumental flop/disaster film. We may be witnessing another Gigli-esque sweep at the Razzies.
