"Transporter 2" Kicks Some Labor Day Box Office Butt
Summary
Jason Statham in "Transporter 2" was the go-to guy over the holiday weekend, hauling in an estimated $20.2 million from 3,300 screens. This is a marked improvement over the debut of the original "Transporter," which opened to $9.1 million, eventually snagged a grand total of $25.2 million, and then became a bona-fide hit once the DVD was released.

One can only hope so.)[/quote] I know I am in there someplace. But I also like mindless entertainment also. I liked the first Transporter and I am sure I will like this one too. And when they put out the double movie DVD package, I will be there to buy it. It will go along with my xXx Vinny Boy movie. Donna A. (Reply to this) |
