Box Office Report - Pillaged and Ransacked

For the 2nd week in a row, the Disney juggernaut known as "Super Natural Pirate Movie" keeps the top spot at the box office. Oh wait, no, that's the name of the movie that kook is trying to sue Disney over. You see, this guy came up with a lot of elements for an unproduced movie that are very similar to what Disney is making the bank with these days. Why he waited til the 2nd movie of the series to come out to take his case to court is beyond me. In the slight off-chance that he might win, I'm sure Disney will have no trouble parting with 1-2 million of their close to (currently) 260 million dollar take right now. "Little Man", the #2 spot-holder does indeed look very little compared to the kind of business that PotC is making, but it shouldn't have made a single dollar (in a perfect world) to begin with. So, point for the Wayans.

"You, Me and Dupree" came in at third, continually proving that people in the United States are succeptible to watching crap. All the while, "Superman Returns" keeps slowly making it's money back. Not quite as fast as it should have. But, it's churning on. I'm pretty sure the worldwide box office take will close the gap for it.

The rest of the list is pretty uninteresting, except for "A Scanner Darkly", which looks very interesting. I'm glad it's making some money. It's still on limited release, but I hope it makes progress and keeps climbing the chart. Below is the actual list. This week, we're using "cash money" green to depit total box office takes.
