Chan and Tucker Take Box Office

Terrible reviews (including one from myself right below) never stop a franchise. After 6 years since Rush Hour 2, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker's Rush Hour 3 debuts at number 1. Meanwhile, Bourne Ultimatum and The Simpsons continue to do well in the top 3 both grossing over 100 million. Claire Danes's new film Stardust didn't debut so hot. The film took in just under $10 million and debuted at number 4. Hairspray still strong in the top 10 at 6 and just a few million away from grossing $100 million.

Here is the top 10 weekend estimates courtesy of Box Office Mojo:

1. Rush Hour 3 - $50,240,000
2. The Bourne Ultimatum - $33,670,000
3. The Simpson's Movie - $11,125,000
4. Stardust - $9,011,000

10. Daddy Day Camp - $3,550,000

Rush Hour 3

John does NOT recommend Rush Hour 3. It was NOT as funny as its predecessors and not as quotable. While not completely unenjoyable...don't waste your money!
