Other Crap

Friday Box Office: Hitchhiker's Guide does well, but XXX seems to be in trouble

• XXX took in substantially less per screen than last week's leader, The Interpreter.
• Kung Fu Hustle just hasn't clicked with American audiences, despite great reviews and solid results elsewhere in the world. It dropped a precipitous 60% from last Friday. (The other two films from last week, The Interpreter and A Lot Like Love, dropped "normal" amounts - 41% and 38% respectively.)
