Box Office Toss-ups
Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde MGM It'll match the first ''Blonde,'' but won't approach Reese Witherspoon's ''Sweet Home Alabama.''
Johnny English Universal Rowan Atkinson's bumbling spy was huge overseas, but like Robbie Williams, he was perhaps too cheeky for these shores.
Bad Boys II Columbia Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will easily double the first film's $66 million gross. But considering cost and expectations, they should have tripled it.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Warner Bros. A high-priced movie that could easily have been a loser, ''T3'' didn't do the business of ''T2.'' But overseas mania will save it.
2 Fast 2 Furious Universal At $125 million, the sequel couldn't speed past the original. But losing Vin Diesel turned out to be no big deal.
The Hulk Universal A monster debut was followed by the biggest plummet (70 percent) ever for a No. 1 film. And the big price tag hurt. But it did top Lee's ''Crouching Tiger.''
Daddy Day Care Sony Eddie Murphy's comedy crawled to $101 million after more than two months in release. Still, it's not exactly one to be proud of.
The Lizzie McGuire Movie Disney Does $43 million merit a sequel? Thanks to soured relations between Disney and Hilary Duff, we may never know.
