Film Notes: 'Spy Kids' Tops Box Office

April 2, 2001 -- Spy Kids infiltrated theaters this weekend.

The new family film starring Antonio Bandaras, about a brother and sister who must rescue their secret agent parents, was the top grossing film at the Box office, with $27 million in receipts. The movie easily outdistanced other releases, taking in more money than the next three films combined.

Miramax had so much faith in Spy Kids, it began planning a sequel even before it opened.

The Ashley Judd men-are-like-cows comedy, Someone Like You, opened in the runner-up spot, while last week's number-one film, Heartbreakers, slipped to the show spot.

The teen comedy Tomcats premiered in the fourth position. The weekend's final new release, The Tailor of Panama, opened in limited release with $2 million.

Here's the top 10 movies Friday through Sunday with estimated grosses:

1. Spy Kids, $27 million. 2. Someone Like You, $10.3 million. 3. Heartbreakers, $8.2 million. 4. Tomcats, $6.5 million. 5. The Brothers, $5.8 million. 6. Enemy at the Gates, $5.3 million. 7. Exit Wounds, $5.2 million. 8. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, $5 million. 9. Traffic, $4.2 million. 10. The Mexican, $2.6 million.

The 48-year-old tells Time magazine that while shooting Blow in Mexico, he accepted an invitation to join college students at hotel party. "I went to someone's house for dinner, and it turned out everybody already ate, and they just watched me eat," he said. "I've gone over to complete strangers' houses, and it's like tons of people come out in pickup trucks …"
