IFC’S My Big Fat Greek Wedding finally reached the top of
the box-office chart Monday, labor day, as it took in US$3.7
million to overtake Disney’s Signs, which earned US$3.6
million. Signs posted a total of US$17 million against
Wedding’s US$14.8 million for the period. It was Wedding’s
20th weekend in release, Signs’ fifth. Analysts indicated
that, with little competition next weekend, Wedding is likely
to remain in the number-one spot for the rest of the week. The
indie film, which cost just US$5 million to make, has now
taken in US$82.6 million and, given its big fat gross, is
likely to spur executives at major studios to reappraise
timeworn formulas for box-office success. (SD-Agencies)
