However, Hill has been playing at 613 more theaters which suggests that it could burn out faster. Perhaps the most remarkable hold of the week was by The Matrix . For the Top 60 actuals, check out Weekend Box Office . This third weekend will be the true test of The Phantom Menace 's longevity. There's no real new competition, but it is its first normal weekend after the hyped opening and the Memorial holiday.

Like Notting Hill , it is counter-programming to The Phantom Menace . However, this is one of those movies with a ubiquitous trailer that merely drums up indifference. Expect Instinct to perform in a similarly modest way. I don't have much more to say on the weekend. Traditionally, the weekend after Memorial Day is when the box office takes a breather and kicks back before the summer onslaught.
