Angels And Demons Overtakes Star Trek For Top Box Office Spot

Tom Hanks' Angels And Demons, a thriller based on Dan Brown's novel, had a $152 million opening weekend worldwide, and the film's domestic $48 million take beat out incumbent Star Trek's $42 million second week.

The film garnered some poor reviews from critics, but that didn't seem to impact its financial success. Starring Tom Hanks as a Harvard academic-turned-Vatican savior, the Catholic church thriller fell short of matching the domestic $77 million opening its predecessor, The Da Vinci Code, took in during its 2006 opening weekend.

Angels & Demons is God-Awful

In the first scene that Tom Hanks appears onscreen as Robert Langdon, he’s wearing a Speedo-like bathing suit. It’s not the only inappropriate moment in Angels & Demons, which desecrates the Vatican with murder, mayhem and even a little sexual tension. Even if it’s just a movie and it’s a fake Vatican, it all seems a little disrespectful. [Full disclosure: the person writing this review grew up in a secular household so she’s not like a religious freak or anything. She just thinks that a movie about Popes being murdered in really gruesome ways is kind of icky.]

That’s not the only problem with Angels & Demons — the plot is preposterous. Langdon is called back to the Vatican after an ancient underground brotherhood called the Illuminati, who favor science over religion, steals a bomb made by a hot Italian scientist named Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer) from the European Council for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. After the Pope dies under mysterious circumstances, the Illuminati, who hate the Catholic Church for persecuting them hundreds of years ago, kidnap four candidates for Popehood during Conclave, then threaten to kill each one every hour and set off the bomb, which will destroy Vatican City.

Tom Hanks May Face Vatican Boycott

Tom Hanks has been busy finishing up the sequel to The Da Vinci Code and may be facing part two of a showdown with the Vatican. The organization, which railed against the first film, may be readying itself to be up at arms against the newest one Angels & Demons.

On Friday, the Vatican's official newspaper Awenwire ran a story saying the Church "cannot approve" of the film. Another Italian daily La Stampa, echoed the idea saying the Vatican would soon call for a boycott. However, Archbishop Velasio De Paolis was quoted as warning against a boycott in case it gives the film even more attention, making it that much more popular. Producers of the film were also denied access to film in parts of the Vatican.

The Church's railing against the first installment didn't hurt the box office. The Da Vinci Code raked in $760 million. Angels & Demons is set to open on May 15.
