Because Steve Harvey= Box office

 

Hell if I know, the movie is nothing more than "Breakin" redone. I'll rent "Breakin" before I watch the remake.

 

As Jay Sherman says:

"If the movie is a remake of a classic, RENT the classic."

 

I consider "Breakin" a classic of my time.

"Barbershop 2" Clips "Miracle"

 

by Bridget Byrne

 

Barbershop 2: Back in Business was indeed back in business this weekend.

 

The snip-and-diss sequel clipped up an estimated $25.1 million to take over the top slot at the box office. If estimates hold, Barbershop 2 will become the fourth best February opener ever, and topped the $20.6 million debut of the original Barbershop in 2002.

 

The haircutting hysterics of Ice Cube, Cedric the Entertainer, Eve and Queen Latifah did something the 1980 Soviet hockey team couldn't, beat the American skating upstarts.

 

 

The feel-good Olympic hockey saga Miracle merited a silver medal, finising in the runner-up slot with $19.4 million debut.

 

The week's only other newbie, the 'tween heist caper Catch That Kid, could only capture sixth place, with just $6 million, according to preliminary studio figures Sunday.

 

Without the controversy of its predecessor, which made fun of civil rights icons Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr., the PG-13 Barbershop 2 buzzed into 2,711 sites and averaged $9,259 for MGM and is apparently on pace to pass the $75.7 million total of the first flick.

 

Miracle, starring Kurt Russell as determined coach Herb Brooks, slid into 2,605 sites and averaged $7,464 per. Disney says the PG release appealed to all age groups, with 55 percent of its audience male.

 

Fox's PG-rated Catch That Kid, with Kristen Stewart as one of a trio of young robbers trying to use their playground skills to knock off a bank to pay for a family crisis, opened in 2,844 theaters, where it averaged $2,118.

 

In limited release, the per-screen victory went to The Dreamers, Bernardo Bertolucci's tale of passion and incest among three movie buffs during the 1968 student riots in Paris. The art-house crowd was apparently eager to see why the film earned an NC-17 rating; at just five sites, the Fox Searchlight release averaged $30,016 for a total of $150,078.

 

Osama, winner of the Golden Globe as Best Foreign-Language Film, also had a successful limited debut. A moving tale of a young girl who tries to live as a boy in order to support her family during the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the PG-13 MGM release averaged $13,250 at four sites for $53,000.

 

The two new top movies served to push last week's topper, You Got Served, down to third place. The dance movie, featuring the defunct band B2K, dropped off 52 percent, but the low-budget flick still earned $7.7 million to bring its two-week total to $26 million.

 

The only gain for those films in the Oscar derby was chalked up by Monster. The serial killer biopic, starring Golden Globe winner Charlize Theron, added 224 more screens, gaining 4 percent and moving up from 11th to eighth place into a virtual tie with Mystic River (whose stars Sean Penn and Tim Robbins won Golden Globes). Now at 892 sites, the R-rated New Market release averaged $3,930 to earn $3.5 million, pushing its seven-week gross to $15.2 million.

 

Overall, the top 12 movies grossed $92.7 million, up 26 percent from last week's Super Bowl-ravaged tally, but down 9.1 percent from this time last year.

 

Final figures are due Monday; meantime, here is how box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations ranks the top 10 based on initial estimates:

 

1. Barbershop 2: Back in Business, $25.1 million

2. Miracle, $19.4 million

3. You Got Served, $7.7 million

4. Along Came Polly, $7 million

5. The Butterfly Effect, $6.7 million

6. Catch That Kid, $6 million

7. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, $4.3 million

8. Monster, $3.505 million

9. Mystic River, $3.5 million

10. Cold Mountain, $3.2 million

Does anyone have numbers for Canada? It will be interesting to see how the American fairy tale does in Canada. Frankly, I think it would do well just because of our flat out love for anything hockey.

 

And I can't see the Barbershop or Barbershop 2 or whatever doing nearly as well up here.

Why are people still going to You Got Served!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It has the subtle charm of "Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo" combined with the aesthetic beauty of Flashdance, combined with the biting social commentary of "Lambada: The Forbidden Dance". How can you NOT love it?

-=Mike

...Isn't it sad that a remake of the "Breakin'" movies probably has made MORE than those crapfests?
