million for the weekend and remain top of the box office ranking, by studio estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations today.On the other hand, Kevin Smith Zack and Miri Make a Porno enjoyed the best debut Kevin smithi ($ 10.7 million), while the Clint Eastwood-directed mystery Angelina Jolie, Changeling, enjoy the best theater for the work of any movie theater in a large release ($ 9.4 million).
Most of the other numbers are scary.
Both HSM3 and saw V ($ 10.1 million) will nosedive business for more than 60 percent since last weekend.
The spell of Molly Hartley ($ 6 million), with Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford, was about as wide as an attractive show CW, that is, it was not. (On the other hand, the teen movie would cost only about 5 million dollars to produce).
After three successful weeks in limited release, in Guy Ritchie RocknRolla suffered an unsuccessful week throughout the news (1.8 million dollars).
Overall, ticket sales for major films were down nearly 40 percent from the same weekend last year. Things would have been worse for HSM3, which grossed just $ 1.7 million on Friday, if it had not recovered a $ 8.3 million Saturday.
The best news came from abroad, where the new James Bond, Quantum of Solace, a joint UK-record opening day Friday, gross about $ 8 million.
If Hollywood is grateful trick-or-treating only lasts one night, probably even more thankful holiday movie season arrives next weekend. And that Quantum of Solace opens Nov. 14 here.
Here is a look at the lost-and-successes of the just-completed fall box office:
* Shia LaBeouf in Eagle Eye ($ 92.5 million in total) made more money.
* Kirk Cameron of the Fireproof ($ 26.1 million) made the most amazing money a budget of $ 500,000.
* The Coen Brothers' Burn After Reading (59 million dollars) more money than the movies now more conventional (and most Coen Brothers films, too).
* The $ 20 million Beverly Hills Chihuahua ($ 84.1 million) more money than Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe $ 70 million Body of Lies ($ 34.6 million).
* Very quiet, Richard Gere and Diane Lane Nights in Rodanthe ($ 40.3 million) also made more money than the Body of Lies.
* Do not rub, but Robert De Niro and Al Pacino fair de la Mata ($ 39.4 million) outgrossed Governing Body of Lies, too.
* Oliver Stone of the W. ($ 22.4 million), which, storywise, Nixon was more than JFK was, gross-wise, more Nixon (13.7 million dollars) to JFK ($ 70.4 million).
* Bill Maher to make fun of religion-documentary, Religulous ($ 11.5 million), a source of inspiration outgrossed football biopic (The Express, $ 9.6 million), a World War II, the theater (Miracle at St. Anna, $ 7.8 million), a family fantasy (City of Ember, $ 7.3 million), and a real-American to hold the comedy (An American Carol, $ 7 million) .
