The American |
George Clooney's The American from Focus Features opened at the top of the Box Office in its first week of release, with an tepid estimate of $16.5 million from 2,823 theatres. These numbers are based on a four-day Labour Day weekend according to Deadline; final tally will be released Tuesday. Yet again, it is a neck-in-neck finish for a second week in a row with Takers edging out The Last Exorcism last week only by a hair. The reviews for the Clooney film have been passably positive for the film 61% at Rotten Tomatoes) which opened oddly on a Wednesday.
Last weekend's champion Takers slips to third this weekend with $14.5 million, just ahead of The Last Exorcism again; the latter brought in $10 million earning $34.8 million to date. Warner Bros.' Going the Distance starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long brought in $8.5 million from 3,030 theatres - clearly a flop.
The Expendables nears the $100 million mark with $8.2 million earned this weekend in its fourth week of release. Miraculously, Inception is still in the Top Ten in what will likely be its last week there, bringing in $6 million this weekend.
