Nicolas Cage's 'Bangkok Dangerous' Bombs At Box Office
Even though Nicolas Cage's 'Bangkok Dangerous' grabbed top spot at the weekend box office, the movie opened with what can only be described as a huge disappointment.
In fact, with no other competition, the movie's debut barely took the top spot with a difference of only $0.3 million between it and second place 'Tropic Thunder' -- which is now in its fourth week.
It's the worst opening for a movie starring the actor since 'Next' ($7.1 million) and 'The Weather Man' ($4.2 million).
To add insult to injury, it comes directly after 'National Treasure: Book of Secrets', which gave Cage his biggest opening weekend ever with $45 million, and also perhaps a false sense of security.
Here's the complete weekend box office rundown, courtesy of Media by Numbers:
1. Bangkok Dangerous, $7.8 million.
2. Tropic Thunder, $7.5 million.
3. The House Bunny, $5.9 million.
4. The Dark Knight, $5.7 million.
5. Traitor, $4.7 million.
6. Babylon A.D., $4 million.
7. Death Race, $3.6 million.
8. Disaster Movie, $3.3 million.
9. Mamma Mia, $2.7 million.
10. Pineapple Express, $2.4 million.
