Night at the Museum Tops Box Office Again

Posted on January 8, 2007

Ben Stiller's Night at the Museum topped the box office for the third week in a row, making an estimated $24,000,000. That brings the film's total receipts to date to $164,097,000. It's a hilarious, family-friendly movie that's really worth seeing.

Owen Wilson as the cowboy Jedediah and Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt really shine in the film. Be sure to stay through the credits and watch Dick Van Dyke dance: he's absolutely amazing at 81.

In second place is Will Smith's The Pursuit of Happyness, which made another $13,000,000, bringing its total to $124,159,000. In third place is the Clive Owen SF film, Children of Men which made an estimated $10,295,000. Based loosely on the book by P.D James, it's getting excellent reviews and we can't wait to see it.

In fourth place is Hilary Swank's Freedom Writers, an inspiring true story about a teacher in Long Beach, California, which made an estimated $9,705,000. Opening this weekend was Happily N'Ever After, an animated fairy tale starring the voices of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sigourney Weaver, which made an estimated $6,800,000 and the comedy Code Name: The Cleaner, starring Cedric the Entertainer, which made an estimated $4,625,000.
