"The
Nicolas Cage action-thriller '
Bangkok Dangerous' needed just $7.8 million to take the top spot at the box office in what was the slowest movie weekend in five years, according to studio estimates released Sunday.
"The total weekend box office gross was expected to reach just $66 million, slightly less than the $66.7 million reported for the same weekend in September 2003.
"'We had no strong holdover from Labor Day Weekend to boost the box office,' said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media by Numbers.
"'Bangkok Dangerous,' a remake of a 1999 Asian movie that opened on 2,650 screens, performed within Lionsgate's expectations, said Steve Rothenberg, the studio's vice president of distribution."
