STOMP THE YARD STOMPS ITS WAY TO NUMBER ONE

Samuel L. Jackson proved he was right when he said Snakes On A Plane doesn’t need the media machine to sell it. The much hyped flick has snaked itself to number one over the weekend at the box office grossing $15.3 million in the U.S. and Canada. Now that the film has opened the secret is out.

Talladega Nights’ box office was nothing to hiss about coming in at a close second place with 14.1 million. World Trade Center came up third grossing 10.8 million. And Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest has reached its one billion mark in total at the box office.

“In the process of transporting the witness from Hawaii to Los Angles on a plane Eddie Kim has hired someone to put a crate load of poisonous snakes on the plane that are time released when we’re over the ocean and can’t turn back to kill any and everybody on the plane and hopefully bring the plane down so that the witness does not arrive in Los Angeles. So at a certain point during this flight we end up in a big snake fight.”
