Analysis
3:10 To Yuma opened relatively impressive for Lionsgate and for director James Mangold (Walk the Line) and actors Christian Bale and Russell Crowe.
Halloween finished the weekend in 2nd place experiencing a hefty 62% drop from the first weekend and relatively typical of the horror genre. With $44 million in box office thus far it looks like this film will easily surpass $50 million which is quite impressive for a film such as this.
Superbad finished the weekend in the 3rd spot surpassing $103.7 million in box office now surpassing the $20 million in box office that the film had grossed.
Clive Owen and Monica Belluci’s film Shoot ‘Em Up did rather poorly for New Line with only a tad more than $5.4 million in its debut weekend on 2,108 screens and only good enough for 6th place.
