Box Office Booty: 2007-09-17
by
Here's a funny thing, if the number of people that watched the Emmys had also all gone to see the same new film that opened this weekend, it would have been the biggest one-day opener ever. Unfortunately for those contestants, that didn't happen. Jodi Foster's new flick The Brave One proved that Foster can still open a movie. With little interest, she managed to claw to the top of the weak weekend pulling in $14 million. Lions Gate's holdover 3:10 to Yuma virtually tied with newcomer Mr. Woodcock for $9.15 and $9.10 million respectively.Dragon Wars came in fourth with $5.3 million.
A couple of notables is that The Weinstein's Halloween remake is still hanging in there at 6th, bringing much needed cash to the struggling indy prod-co. The Bourne Ultimatum is sitting in seventh, making MGM desperate for a fourth installment.

- The Brave One ($14 million)
