ANGELS & DEMONS Haunts The Top Of The Weekend Box Office — Nicole runs the numbers

Written by Nicole Pedersen

This weekend all eyes were on that so-called sequel to “The Da Vinci Code” – “Angels & Demons”. With no other major new releases to steal its heavenly thunder, it would have been a religious-sized upset had the reunited team of Hanks and Howard failed to deliver a number one opening. The good news for Sony is that box-office preeminence was achieved – if only just barely. “Angels & Demons” came in first with an estimated $48 million – only a bit ahead of last week’s number one, “Star Trek”.
