Entertainment: Big Momma gets huge welcome Black Habits Articles Moviegoers embraced a supersize momma in a wig and a governess who tames an unruly brood as familyfriendly films dominated the weekend box office.

Twentieth Century Fox’s Big Momma’s House 2, with $28 million US in estimated ticket sales, turned in the second-best January opening ever, trailing only the $35.9 million scored by the 1997 release of a special edition of Star Wars, according to Exhibitor Relations, which tracks boxoffice results.

As in the original Big Momma’s House, Martin Lawrence layers on the bulges and dons billowy, floral-print dresses, along with a wig. It was followed by another new release, Universal Pictures’ Nanny McPhee starring Emma Thompson, with $14.1 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates.

“Audiences are obviously in the mood for some lighthearted films,” said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations. A week after the vampire thriller Underworld: Evolution led the pack, the marketplace is proving “adaptable to all these films.”

Underworld: Evolution tumbled to the third spot, with $11.1 million in sales, a 59 per cent decline from its strong first week.

The fourth spot was claimed by the new release Annapolis. The story of a quick-fisted undergraduate, shot on location at the U.S. Naval Academy, pulled in $7.7 million.

Hoodwinked, an animated update of the Little Red Riding Hood story fell to the fifth spot, off 29 per cent from the previous week, with $7.4 million in sales. - The Associated Press
