DUKES EXPECTED TO RULE BOX OFFICE
Friday, August 5 2005

While "stupid" (or its synonyms) may be the most repeated adjective appearing in the reviews of the movie version of The Dukes of Hazzard, box office analysts are issuing reminders that stupid is as stupid does -- and, in this case, stupid appears set to make a killing. As the only new film opening wide this weekend, the film, which stars Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott and Jessica Simpson, is expected to earn $25-30 million. The weekend also will see March of the Penguins march into 1,827 theaters this weekend, up from 778 last weekend. The documentary has been making an impressive showing in its limited release and analysts figure it should capture a relatively sizable family audience.
