[Super_Ludacris]

Cool that BB got the #3 spot in the US. Not so cool that it only got #6 worldwide but I'm hoping that it's still running in a few places and can scrap up some cash in the final run.

Snitcy gonna have a bigger weekend than that..............unfourtanley

 

[Super_Ludacris]

It saddens me Smith has a larger International gross than Begins

It's a bigger draw cause of the leads

 

[MrScissorhands]

It's a bigger draw cause of the leads

And because of the comedy aspect. Comedy is probably the biggest seller at the box office right now (hence Wedding Crashers and Meet the Fockers) and if a movie combines action and comedy it appeals to the largest possible demographic, both male and female. Batman Begins still only appeals to a mostly male audience.
