Topping the box office this past weekend was the rather sigh-inducing Rush Hour 3, which I couldn’t really be bothered to write much about, perhaps because I was still laughing my ass off over this bon mot from director Brett Ratner. The sequel — and first public sighting of Chris Tucker in six years — grossed just over $49 million, a pretty penny but not nearly well enough to offset its bloated price tag.

Stardust, meanwhile, had a lot of trouble selling filmgoers its whimsical touch, pulling in only $9.1 million at 2,540 venues, while Wednesday release Daddy Day Camp flamed out with an estimated $3.4 million over the weekend at just over 2,300 locations.

Matt Damon’s critically and commercially embraced The Bourne Ultimatum rang up another $32.8 million, bringing its total to north of $131 in its second full week of release. The Simpsons Movie, meanwhile, added $11.2 million to its box office totals, which now hover in the $150 million range. In other long-playing news of note, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, perhaps somewhat improbably, has now grossed over $100 million, though I think at least 10 percent of that should be attributed to Jessica Biel’s ass. Michael Bay’s Transformers, meanwhile, crossed the $300 domestic mark in its 39th day of release. Hot Rod, on the other hand, proves that cultish DVD sales is the chief dominion of a young, up-and-coming Saturday Night Live talent like Andy Samberg; no biggie, same thing more or less happened to Adam Sandler’s Billy Madison, which laid the groundwork for Happy Gilmore and all that followed it.

In super-limited release, finally, Rosario Dawson’s Descent, a muted revenge drama about a sexually abused college student, tallied just $8,400 on two screens, while the canted, refreshing Rocket Science pulled in $58,500 on six screens in advance of a widening this week.
