Box Office Report: Aug. 10-12

While not raking in as much money as the opening weekend of its predecessor, “Rush Hour 3” was still strong enough to pull in nearly $50 million to take the top position at the box office. Still, it remains to be seen if the big-budgeted action sequel, yet another third in a series, can hold up in subsequent weekends. Maybe audiences are going to start to realize that wasn’t a whole lot to this franchise beyond its concept introduced in the first “Rush Hour.”

Looking at the worldwide charts, “300” now stands alone as the only non-summer movie release to have a spot in the top 10.
