Fool's Gold Shines at Box Office

Posted Feb 10, 08 6:50 PM CST in Business,  Arts & Living 

(Newser) – Movie fans valued Fool’s Gold at $22 million this weekend and made the Matthew McConaughey-Kate Hudson pic tops at the box office, Variety reports. The Martin Lawrence vehicle Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins debuted in second with $17.1 million, and last week’s surprise flick, Hannah Montana, dropped from $31.1 million to $10.5 million and third spot.

Supernatural Jessica Alba pic The Eye saw a fall from second to fourth with $6.6 million, and Oscar-nominated teen-preggers laffer Juno rounded out the top five with $5.73 million, Bloomberg reports. 27 Dresses, The Bucket List, Rambo, Meet the Spartans, and There Will Be Blood filled out the top 10 on a weekend one analyst called slow, "mostly because of the entire slate of movies, compared with previous years."
