Monday Morning Box Office Report: Sept. 22, 2008
Looks like Samuel L. Jackson’s still got it… that is, as long as you give him a role where he can be a bad-ass mofo. The Neil LaBute thriller Lakeview Terrace took the #1 spot over the weekend with over $15 million in ticket sales, followed by the Coens’ Burn After Reading and My Best Friend’s Girl. The CG horror-comedy Igor debuted at #4 spot, meanwhile Ghost Town was a disappointing #8 in spite of overwhelmingly positive reviews, although it did have a decent per screen average. And yes, The Dark Knight is still in the top 10, although I suspect it may finally drop off in another week or so.
1. Lakeview Terrace — $15.6M
2. Burn After Reading — $11.3M
3. My Best Friend’s Girl — $8.3M
4. Igor — $8.01M
5. Righteous Kill — $7.7M
6. The Family That Preys — $7.5M
7. The Women — $5.31M
8. Ghost Town — $5.17M
9. The Dark Knight — $2.95M
10. The House Bunny — $2.8M

I saw Netherbeast Incorporated this weekend and i thought it was fantastic.
I suggest this one. Sean, you should do a review of it!
Posted by Mike on September 22nd, 2008I guess Ghost Town’s performance proves that America has finally started listening to Film Junk’s advice.
