Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks used to bring major drawing power to their films, but that wasn�t the case this weekend for their film �The Terminal�, which was badly beaten at the box office by Ben Stiller�s new goofball comedy �Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story�. 

The Hanks/Spielberg film suffered from a terminal case of lack of interest and brought in only an estimated $18.7 million, well below the reported $60 million price tag. The $20 million dollar �Dodgeball� on the other hand, grossed an estimated $30 million. 

Disney suffered a much worst fate with their remake of �Around the World in 80 Days�. Even Jackie Chan couldn�t keep the hot air from escaping this $100 million dollar balloon. The film grossed an estimated $6.8 million this weekend, landing in 9th place.

01 - Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story - $30 million
