“Chuck and Larry” overtakes “Potter” at box office
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Adam Sandler’s faux gay comedy, “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” charmed moviegoers, who spent $34.8 million at weekend movie box offices, sweeping “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” from the No. 1 spot, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
“Potter,” the fifth film based on the blockbuster fantasy book series that saw its seventh and final novel debut this weekend, had a weekend box office sweep of $32.2 million.
“Hairspray,” the movie musical starring a cross-dressing John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer as a racist and a chubby singer as its star, brought in $27.8 million to land at No. 3.
