US Box Office
3:10 to Yuma, a western no less, earns the top spot this week. James Mangold directed, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale starring movie earns rave critical reviews and fares well with the general public, riding together some $14 million in a slow post-labor day week.
In its second week, and still several weeks away from the real deal, Halloween scares up $9.5 million (a heavy 65% drop).
Meanwhile at number 3, Superbad crosses the $100 million mark by adding $7.6 million in its fourth week. And at 4, heavy action flick Shoot’em Up almost doesn’t register with only $5.7 million. Rounding out the top 5 is Bourne Ultimatum with $5.67 million in its 6th week (only the sixth movie this year to stay in the top 5 after 6 weeks).
