The dead ruled the box office last week but had to settle for second place this time around while Jodie Foster searched for her kid on a jumbo jet in Flightplan, leaving Tim Burton’s stop-motion animated film Corpse Bride in a nearby graveyard. The remains of Reese Witherspoon trailed behind as the necromance Just Like Heaven took third.
The wheeled feet and disco of Roll Bounce funked up a few bucks as The 40 Year Old Virgin continues its inexorable crawl to the $100 million mark. March of the Penguins finally waddles off the list after hanging around for many weeks, while David Cronenberg’s critical darling A History of Violence draws some early attention in limited release.
September ends with a busy weekend as History opens wide against Joss Whedon’s Serenity, the taut bods of Into the Blue, and the golf movie The Greatest Game Ever Played.
