written by lee jeske...The distant past showed that it has a big future this weekend as 10-Thousand B-C stormed the box office, hauling in nearly 36-million dollars to dominate the weekend. Roland Emmerich, whose movies usually roll up big numbers (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow), directed this flick.
Another new movie was runner up with Martin Lawrence's College Road Trip pulling in with 14-million bucks.
Vantage Point, starring Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox, dropped to third in its third weekend. The political thriller has now pulled in more than 50-million dollars after adding seven-and-a-half-million to its total take.
Will Ferrell's basketball comedy Semi-Pro tumbled to fourth in its second week. Semi-Pro's 25-million-dollar take thus far is a disappointment after Ferrell's his last two sports comedies -- Blades of Glory and Talladega Nights -- each earned more than 100-million dollars.
The Bank Job, a British heist thriller starring Jason Stratham and Saffron Burrows, opened in fifth with nearly six-million dollars -- right on the heels of Semi-Pro.
