In their second on-screen pairing, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson returned to #1 at the box office on Sunday with the adventure comedy "Fool's Gold."
The movie earned $22 million for the three days beginning Friday, according to estimates issued by its distributor. The Time Warner Inc-owned studio said the tally exceeded its expectations by $3 million to $4 million.
McConaughey and Hudson topped the charts exactly five years ago with the romantic comedy "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," which kicked off with $23.8 million; it finished with $106 million.
This time, McConaughey plays a bounty hunter who reunites with his estranged wife (Hudson) to search for sunken treasure in the Caribbean. Critics almost unanimously lambasted the film. Warner Bros. said older women were the primary audience.
Also new, at No. 2, was the Martin Lawrence comedy "Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins," with $17.1 million.
