Hollywood BoxOffice : Box Office Report - May 16-18


Prince Caspian did knock Iron Man out of first place as expected, but the second Narnia film didn't exactly light the box office on fire. Prince Caspian failed to match the opening weekend numbers of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe which brought in $65 million its first weekend in release. Prince Caspian came in below pre-release estimates and with Indiana Jones set for release on May 22nd, Prince Caspian may not be able to lure in families the way its predecessor did in 2005.

Top 10 Films for the Weekend Ending 05/18/08 (Estimates)

1) The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - $56,600,000
2) Iron Man - $31,200,000
3) What Happens in Vegas - $13,800,000
4) Speed Racer - $7,600,000
5) Baby Mama - $4,600,000
6) Made of Honor - $4,500,000
7) Forgetting Sarah Marshall - $2,500,000
8) Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay - $1,800,000
