The weekend box office numbers are in and it looks like movie-goers are more interested in extinct mammoths than irrelevant beavers.
Ice Age: The Meltdown (Fox), buoyed by brand name recognition (with some help from the first Simpsons teaser) opened in first bringing in just over $68 Million. Spike Lee's caper joint, Inside Man (Universal) brought in $15.4 Million in its second week, good enough for second place and bringing its total to $52.5 Million.
Coming in a surprising third place was the urban family drama ATL (Warner Bros.) raking in $11.5 Million on a mere 16o2 screens in its first week of release.
Failure to Launch (Paramount) and V for Vendetta (Warner Bros.) rounded out the top five earning $6.5 Million and and $6.3 Million respectively.
Bad news for Sharon Stone as her comeback attempt fell flat.
Basic Instinct 2 (Sony), the untimely sequel to her 1992 break out hit, failed to register much interest from an audience which had forgotten about her over the last few years, finishing with $3.2 Million in a virtual tie for tenth place with Larry the Cable Guy:Health Inspector.
