Big Numbers For Flick Starring Ice Cube And Eve
« on: September 15, 2002, 09:01:34 PM »
"Barbershop," which stars rappers Ice Cube and Eve, snagged the number one spot at the North American box office according to MGM studio estimates issued Sunday.

In the movie, Cube stars as the owner of barbershop that has been a long standing social gathering place in a Southside Chicago neighborhood. After his bills mount up, Cube sells the shop to a local loan shark to pay off debts and start a career in recording. Afterwards, he realizes how much the shop means to the community and goes through extreme measures to get it back.

"Barbershop," which also stars Cedric The Entertainer, was shot on a budget under $15 million and almost doubled the costs the first weekend out, raking in $21 million dollars. The closest premiere for the weekend was "Stealing Harvard," a comedy that features Tom Green. "Stealing Harvard took in $6.3 million.


If the numbers issued by MGM are accurate, "Barbershop" will be the third best September opening movie ever, trailing behind "Rush Hour," which took in $33 million the first weekend and "Double Jeopardy" which did a respectable $23.2 million. "Barbershop" will push "Remember The Titans" to fourth place with $20.9 million.

Talks were underway before the movie even hit theaters for a sequel to the film."


Damn,props to ice cube for his hard work on the big screen!

Bones was as good as Barbershop, in my opinion.

Man, I hope they don't do a sequel.  That would ruin it, there's no way to do a sequel without turning it into a stupid black comedy.  The best part about this one was the message behind it. .. what, are they gonna bring in some other supervillian or something?  They better do soemthing drastic, like have the movie shot 30 years after the original one when everybody's ancient, or something.

If you are going to post up news, post up a source with it...

Otherwise, you could be making this all up...

Good job to Cube on this!

Thanks Rud, I am just in a habit of coming here first, and then visiting news sites second... When I see something without a source, it makes me wonder...

Thanks for the heads up!
