10,000 B.C. Delivers "Mammoth" Box Office

10,000 B.C. courtesy Warner Bros.

Despite so-so reviews from critics and loud guffaws from historians, 10,000 B.C. has no bone to pick with its opening weekend haul of $35.7 million. Placing second behind the prehistoric lark was Martin Lawrence's College Road Trip, which opened with $14 mil.

Rounding out the top five were Vantage Point ($7.5 mil), last week's champ, Semi-Pro ($5.8 mil) and The Bank Job (debuting with $5.7 mil).

Props to the New York Daily News for the above headline, by the way.

If you call 7% on the tomato meter so-so I'd hate to see what you call bad.

You can't really call the reviews "scathing" because the reviewers were so dismissive of the movie--they thought it was too stupid to expend much energy on. The only slightly positive review was of the "you know it's going to be dumb, but go with it" variety.

But some sources indicate they were hoping for 300 territory at the box office, so getting about half that much has to be seen as a pretty big disappointment (especially since movies like this tend to get most of their total take in the first week).
