... fully loaded, safety off...

Okay, there are no movies like Serenity... what I mean by that is: I went to http://boxofficemojo.com and looked over their numbers for movies that had opening weekends from April through July '05 AND were showing in roughly the same number of theaters (2-3,000) I’ve seen reported for Serenity. So, opening weekend dates, movie, number of theaters, weekend gross in millions $USD (assumed to be domestic, B.O.M. does not state).

7/29-31
Must Love Dogs
(2,505 theaters)
12.9 mil

Sky High
(2,905 theaters)
14.6

7/22-24
The Island
(3,122 theaters)
12.4

Bad News Bears
(3,183 theaters)
11.4

7/8-10
Dark Water
(2,657 theaters)
9.9

7/1-3
Rebound
(2,464 theaters)
5.0

6/24-26
Land of the Dead
(2,249 theaters)
10.2

6/10-12
Shark Boy and Lava Girl
(2,655 theaters)
12.6

6/3-5

18.3

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
(2,583 theaters)
9.8

5/13-15

4/29-5/1
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
(3,133 theaters)
21.1

4/22-24
The Interpreter
(2,758 theaters)
22.8

4/22-24
Kung Fu Hustle
(2,500 theaters)
6.7

A Lot Like Love
(2,502 theaters)
7.6

4/8-10
Sahara
(3,154 theaters)
18.1

High 23 mil
Average 12.75 mil
Low 5 mil

The one that stands out to me is:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
(3,133 theaters)
21.1

It is closer to Serenity than the others (fan base/scifi/no BBO stars... yet!).
