To nobody's surprise, Superbad repeated at #1 with a typical Judd Apatow dip of 45%. But even with typically mild mid-August numbers, a few surprises lurked. Mr. Bean's Holiday opened just a bit below the first Bean entry, doubling my prediction. Meanwhile, Resurrecting the Champ opened at about half of my pessimistic guess (good thing I didn't read all the positive reviews first, which would have pushed my numbers even higher). And September Dawn managed to turn off both the Mormons and the fundamentalists, raking in about $700 per screen... that's about 6 die-hards per showing. Well, at least I was right about The Nanny Diaries and War which, like Mr. Bean's Holiday, opened to mild but probably profitable numbers.
