Friday Numbers AnalysisBy Tim BriodyOctober 4, 2003
The School of RockJack Black's The School of Rock earned an estimated $6 million on Friday. It will fall short of the $23.2 Shallow Hal earned in its first weekend back in 2001, but that had the Farrelly Brothers behind it and co-star Gwyneth Paltrow didn't hurt, either. If it can build on the impressive word-of-mouth, the family comedy (who knew?) could enjoy a decent run through October. With nothing else (except Secondhand Lions) for parents to drag their kids to, School of Rock could see a decent internal multiplier. Give it an even 3.0 and about an $18 milion weekend.
Out of TimeDenzel Washington's cop thriller Out of Time scored an estimated $5.3 million Friday, and the adult-skewing nature of the film means it'll be a closer race for the top spot at the box office than we've seen in weeks. Even with a 3.1 multiplier and a $16.4 million weekend, School of Rock will prevail.
Notable HoldoversThe Rundown plunges 54% from last Friday (which is a darned shame). An overall weekend decline of around 50% is in store for The Rock's latest vehicle.Diane Lane's Under the Tuscan Sun behaves like a good chick flick should, as it falls just 22.1% from last Friday, en route to a leggy run after a second weekend decline of under 20%. The wonderful Lost in Translation added a few hundred more screens, but that only helped the film improve 22.4% off last Friday. This will put it in the middle ranks of the top ten this weekend, but with a per screen average like that, it may not be the Oscar contender Focus Features is hoping for.
