August 30th 2009 17:28
The weekend, The Final Destination was triumphant while Halloween 2 floundered at the box office.
Top 10 (thanks to the good folks at IMDb)
1.) The Final Destination - $28,000,000
2.) Inglourious Basterds - $20,000,000
4.) Disctrict 9 - $10,700,000
5.) G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra - $8,000,000
6.) Julie & Julia - $7,400,000
7.) The Time Traveller's Wife - $6,750,000
8.) Shorts - $4,870,000
9.) Taking Woodstock - $3,750,000
10.) G-Force - $2,850,000
The obvious winner the week was The Final Destination, the fourth installment in the franchise, proving it still has a strong, committed fanbase with 28 million. Also going strong is Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, which continues to go strong at second place with 20 million.
A dissapoinment this week was Rob Zombie's Halloween II, which landed at the third spot with 17 million. While many would consider this a strong opening weekend for a hard-R gorefest, compared to Zombie's first Halloween flick two years ago in 2007, which opened at 27 million, one can notice a sizable drop. With a poor critical notices and bad word or mouth, fans shouldn't be expecting a Halloween III anytime soon.
Also opening in a much smaller release was Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock, which took in an unimpressive 3 million this weekend.
