‘Da Vinci Code’ Tops Box Office
Despite bad reviews and global protests, “The Da Vinci Code” lived up to expectations and dominated the box office this past weekend.
The film, based on Dan Brown’s bestselling book, brought in $224 million US worldwide, according to CBC. That makes it the second-largest debut at the global box office, behind last years “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith,” which earned $253 million in its first weekend.
Though “Da Vinci Code” didn’t set any North American box office records, it did pull in $77 million, making it the most successful opening this year. The best North American debut in film history was $115 million for “Spider-Man” in 2002.
