BOX OFFICE
'FANTASTIC' BURNS UP THEATERS
The comic-book adaptation "Fantastic Four" raked in $56 million during its first three days, apparently helping to end a swoon in which domestic movie revenues had been down 19 weekends in a row compared to last year's. The movie bumped the previous weekend's top film, "War of the Worlds," into second place with $31.3 million. "War of the Worlds" raised its 12-day domestic total to $165.8 million.
Unlike the well-reviewed "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" films, "Fantastic Four" overcame a drubbing by critics.
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is expected to do big business this weekend.
FINAL WORD
"Every day I suffer over decisions. People around me see me cry and see me very insecure. I guess I don't feel like I'm delivering a baby if I don't feel the pain of the contractions, you know? It's a masochistic way of living a career."
