Box Office Report: April 27-29

Call this past weekend the calm before the storm. “Disturbia” held onto the top spot at the box office for the third straight weekend, pulling in a fairly meager $9 million. The top debut was the little hyped supernatural mystery movie that pulled in under $8 million, while the Nicolas Cage action pic “Next” did even worse, bringing in a little over $7 million. After Cage’s earlier box office success of “Ghost Rider” in February, it looked like he might be bouncing back as a draw at the ticket turnstiles. Well, I’m sure he’ll have another movie coming out in a couple of weeks or so to push this one out of people’s memories.

Of course, there will be plenty of noise at theaters this coming weekend, as the eagerly anticipated and subtly hyped (you might have heard a bit about it) “Spider-Man 3” swings onto the big screen. This marks the official (albeit early) arrival of the summer movie season, so let the records fall.
