US Box Office

Another sequel heads for the top spot, as Freddy battles Jason in back-up generatored movie theatres (opens here 2nd Oct). Taking in $36.4 million is quite a surprise, as horror flicks, especially part 3 or higher, are already considered B-movies. Dropping half its previous public is S.W.A.T on number 2, taking in $18.6 million in its second week. Seemingly low profile western, Open Range, starring/directed by Kevin Costner still manages to earn $14.1 million, finishing the top 3 (opens here unknown).
