As expected, Ocean’s Thirteen conned its way to the top spot at the box office last weekend, grossing just over $36 million in 3,565 theaters. That is slightly below the first two films’ opening of $38.1 for Eleven in 2001 and $39.1 for Twelve in 2004. Could this signal an end to the series? Let’s just see if it has legs. David Gorgos was in the 95% accuracy range with his guess. Pirates grabbed the second spot, just knocking out Knocked Up with $21.2 million (a 52% drop), compared to the latter’s $19.6 million (a good 36% drop, which suggests this should play through the summer). Though the Two Daves were very close on these picks, Bleiler came closest on both predictions. The animated family film Surf’s Up was nearly stranded on the beach with a below-expectations but respectable gross of $17.6 million. The horror tale Hostel Part II was DOA. Next week’s big release is yet another sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
