LOS ANGELES (AFP) — “Max Payne” marked a successful transition from video game star to hero of the silver screen as the film debuted atop the North American box office, preliminary figures showed Sunday.
Fox’s noir, fantasy-tinged movie, based on the best-selling video game and starring Mark Wahlberg as a tragedy-stricken undercover New York cop hell-bent on revenge, racked up 18 million dollars at the weekend, box office tracker Exhibitor Relations said.
Payne knocked the pooches of “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” off their number one perch. The Walt Disney film about a pampered pup forced to fend for herself on Mexico’s mean streets slipped to second place, fetching 11.2 million dollars.
Buzzing into third place in its debut weekend was “The Secret Life of Bees,” a sweet story of a young white girl (Dakota Fanning) taken in by three African-American sisters. The film, an adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd’s best-selling book, took in 11 million dollars.
Director Oliver Stone’s hotly anticipated “W.” biopic of the life of US President George W. Bush — also making its debut this weekend — was closely behind in fourth, earning 10.5 million dollars.
Battle in Seattle, final movie trailer. In 1999, five days rocked the world as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Seattle to protest the World Trade Organization. In “Battle in Seattle” those protesters include Django (Andre Benjamin), Sam (Jennifer Carpenter), Lou (Michelle Rodriguez) and Jay (Martin Henderson).
Many US cities have begun placing fines and penalties on individuals caught in public wearing saggy pants.
Village leaders in south Chicago’s suburb, Lynwood, have already approved an ordinance levying fines up to $25 against people showing at least three inches or more of their underwear, according to the Associated Press.
The law has received acclaim from Lynwood’s mayor, Eugene Williams, who claims half-dressed young men had previously kept the area from growing as major retailers and economic developers were swayed away.
According to Newsweek, a similar law has sprouted in Flint, Michigan as new police chief David Dicks has given approval to begin arresting “saggers” in addition to threatening them with jail time and fines. He has been quoted calling the popular urban style “immoral self expression” although the look has been around for decades.
“I’ve been sagging since the fourth grade,” Flint resident Jayson Miguel told Newsweek. “I’ll be sagging when I’m old and gray.”
As of today, Dicks has only issued warnings, but has promised anyone wearing their pants below their underwear violates the city’s disorderly conduct code and will be punished by 93 days to a year in jail or a fine up to $500.
The local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has begun taking matters in to their own hands telling the top cop he may either stop the policy or face a court battle. Attorney and president of ACLU Greg Gibbs felt the new law is simply based on personal dislikes of Dicks.
“Under no stretch of the imagination does wearing saggy pants that reveal the top of one’s boxer shorts violate the Flint disorderly conduct ordinance,” Gibbs said. “This man has basically taken his own dislikes of a style of dress and made it a violation of criminal law.”
In addition to the legal battle Dicks may face from Gibbs, the chief could also have an uphill racial fight as a Flint police officer called into a local radio station last week claiming officers were previously using the policy to profile minorities.
