Did you go see National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets this weekend? I did. And a lot of people, too, since Nicholas Cage unearthed the No. 1 spot in the box office.
The action sequel sold $45.5 million worth of tickets during its first three days.
The $45.5 million start for "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" compares with a $35 million launch for 2004's "National Treasure", which went on to make $173 million, the biggest film of Cage's career. It also earned $173 million overseas. Cage spent two weeks at No. 1 in February with "Ghost Rider ", which started with $45 million on its way to $116 million domestically.
In the new film, he flies around the world trying to solve an ancient puzzle related to Lincoln's assassination, in the process managing to break into both Buckingham Palace and the White House. Critics were appalled.
But were you? What did you think of the film? Do you want to see it if you haven't? Comment, plz.
