US Box Office
Football dramas still seem like the winning formula, as Gridiron Gang opens at number 1 (starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson), while Invincible is still hanging around the top 6. Like Invincible, this movie is also inspired by a true story, and leads with $15 million.
At number two, while nabbing a Golden Lion nomination at the Venice Film Festival, but still not convincing the lot of critics, is The Black Dahlia with $10.4 million.
At three, animated movie Everyone’s Hero opens with $6.2 million. Christopher Reeve was still working on it during his untimely demise, and is solely credited for it, even though two other directors finished the picture.
At four The Last Kiss (starring Zach Braff) opens with $4.7 million, while rounding out the top 5 is left-over The Covenant with the same amount of money.
