Posted In | News Categories: Films | Geographic Region: All | Site Categories: Films
The four-day Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend created a healthy box office with DreamWorks’ “The Prince of Egypt” continuing to edge its way towards $100 million. The religious epic, which was banned this week in Indian Ocean-located The Maldives for its “offensive” portrayal of Moses, came in eighth with $6.2M after 32 days of release for a grand total of $82.5M. At its current pace, the film is poised to pass “The Rugrats Movie” as the highest gross non-Disney animated feature of all-time. Meanwhile, after 60 days of release, Paramount’s “The Rugrats Movie” dropped to eighteenth place with $1.3M for a total of $92.7M. Disney/Pixar’s “A Bug’s Life” fell to thirteenth with $4.5M and a kingly cume of $148.5M after 60 days of release. Coming in a notch ahead of ‘Bug’s Life’ at twelfth was Disney’s visual effects-heavy remake, “Mighty Joe Young,” with $4.5 and a light box office total of $40M.
