Weekend box office for February 24
It didn’t take long at a beer pong table to see that Vantage Point, the Matthew Fox vehicle, was the weekend’s top drama, raking in over $24 million to secure the top spot at the box office. Jumper, last weekend’s number one flick, could only manage just over half that total with $12.65 million for second place, just ahead of the children’s drama, the Spiderwick Chronicles.
Step Up 2 the Streets and Fools’ Gold rounded out top five, but only Vantage Point was a first-weekend debut release. New Line’s Be Kind, Rewind placed seventh overall, while the comedy Witless Protection and the heavily promoted Charlie Barlett took 13th and 14th place respectively. Indy comedy June remains strong, raking in another $4.1 million to add to its $130 million total so far.
