Undisturbia: Weekend box office report

Another quiet weekend at the box office as the weather got good at last and the industry took a breather in preparation for "Spiderman 3" and the official opening gun of the summer bloat-o-rama season. Everyone I knew was either outside hosing off lawn furniture or inside watching the Sox own the Yankees.

With a muted $13.5 million, "Disturbia" remained the top grosser but only because the slate of new releases was awfully weak: Anthony Hopkins courtroom drama "Fracture" ($11.2 million), motel-hell chiller "Vacancy" ($7.6 mill), Meg Ryan/Kristen Stewart melodrama "In the Land of Women" ($4.9 mill). British action parody "Hot Fuzz" did nicely in a semi-limited release, with $5.8 mill at 800+ theaters.

Down in art-house land, Dutch Resistance drama "Black Book" is packing them in with an average $5,000 per theater in 52 theaters. The Mike White comedy/drama/whatsit "Year of the Dog"is doing about $4,200 per theater at 33 houses. And "The Valet," a goofball French comedy that picked up surprisingly good reviews, is pulling in a strong $12,000 per theater on six screens. (It opens in the Boston area May 4.)
