Box Office: Superbad Has Super Staying Power

Aug 27 2007 - 12:01am

Teen raunch comedy Superbad [0] continued to get tons of McLovin from audiences this weekend as it reigned at the box office [1] for the second weekend in a row. Overall, this weekend's box office sales were somewhat unusual, with older movies taking the top three slots before the new releases. The Bourne Ultimatum [1] came in second place — a nice accomplishment in the movie's third weekend in theaters — while Rush Hour 3 [2] stayed strong at No. 3.

Mr. Bean's Holiday [3] came in just slightly ahead of Jet Li's action flick War [4], the two films taking fourth and fifth places respectively. Meanwhile, The Nanny Diaries [4] opened at No. 6 in the box office lineup, raking in just $7.8 million.

Superbad actually has a chance of taking the top slot a third weekend in a row this upcoming holiday weekend. The only real competition comes from Rob Zombie's Halloween [4] and the bumbling comedy Balls of Fury [5]. My money's on McLovin and Co.
