With only one new film in wide release, it was another slow weekend at U.S. movie theaters. Box office totals slumped even lower than last week, making this weekend a 52-week low. However, two limited release films made a good showing at the box office this weekend. Anime thriller VAMPIRE HUNTER D: BLOODLUST, debuting in just six theaters, managed to bring in a healthy $4,255 per screen. The Armegeddon-themed MEGIDDO: OMEGA CODE 2, with visual effects by Computercafe and Cinesite, did well in limited release as well, debuting in thirteenth place with $1.6M from 314 theaters. THE MUSKETEER, with primary visual effects by Das Werk, slipped another spot, adding $3.5M for $22.7M and fourth place. The teen horror flick JEEPERS CREEPERS, with primary visual effects by E=MC2 and Max Ink Cafe LLC, dropped two spots to ninth with $2.8M and $33.6M total. Top ten mainstay RUSH HOUR 2, with primary visual effects by Cinesite, has added another $3.5M to its $215.6M total, and the comedy RAT RACE, with animated opening titles by Wild Brain, has earned $2.9M in its sixth weekend bringing its gross to $51.5M.
