Daily Box Office for Friday, July 28, 2006- Miami Vice and Pirates were right on target.
- The disappointment of the week was Ant Bully, which opened in fifth place with a Friday below $3 million. (It was expected to finish third, with $13-$14m for the weekend.)
- John Tucker Must Die was the positive surprise of the weekend. It finished 3rd overall, and 2nd in "revenues per theater." Critically reviled and rolled out to only 2500 theaters rather than the customary 3000+ for big studio releases, it was expected to finish fifth, in the $11-12m range. In fact, it was expected to finish below Ant Bully, but actually doubled it on Friday!
- The Devil Wears Prada continued to astound. Although in its fifth weekend and competing against three new major releases, Prada finished 6th in revenues per screen and 9th overall.
