Irish film loses out in the States
14/04/2004 - 10:48:26The goblins, elves and fairies failed to work their magic for Ella Enchanted, the Irish-filmed production starring Anne Hathaway and Vivica A. Fox.
The movie lost out badly on its Stateside release hammered by a revival in Mel Gibson's runaway hit, The Passion of the Christ.
Ella struggled into 9th place in the Box Office rankings with an opening week-end take of only $6.1m.
The Passion, made for $27m, has hit the $354.9m mark.
Interestingly, it was beaten into second place in Ireland ... by Scooby Doo 2!
