'Rush Hour 3': Comedy, Records and Lotsa $$$

There are a lot of naysayers out there, claiming “Rush Hour 3” is either stalled or isn’t a hit. With $64 million in the bank since last Friday, however, “RH3” looks like it’s done pretty well after all.

First, here are the stats: It’s the third biggest opener for a three-day weekend in August of all movie types. “Rush Hour 2” and “Signs” are ahead of it.

It’s also the fourth biggest three-day opener for a comedy. So there. It’s right behind “Austin Powers Goldmember,” “Bruce Almighty” and “Rush Hour 2.”

Want more? It’s the fifth biggest three-day opening for a comedy ever, with “Meet the Fockers,” “Bruce Almighty,” “Rush Hour 2” and “Goldmember” in front of it.
