Tomb Raider fails to live up to box office expectations


Angelina Jolie's new Tomb Raider movie has failed to live up to expectations - entering the US box office charts in fourth place.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider II: Cradle of Life took just £13.8 million over the weekend - less than half what the original film earned when it debuted in June 2001.

It was beaten by new movie Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, which took the top spot with an estimated £20.5 million.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Legend of the Black Pearl held on to second place with an estimated £14.2 million, while last week's number one Bad Boys II dropped to third spot with £13.9 million.

Real-life racing film Seabiscuit came in fifth, with £13.6 million.
