Box Office Estimates 10/01-2006
It was a good week for the movies. The gross numbers were up and the top three films broke $10 million, that hasn’t happened since summer.
The winner this is Ashton Kutcher who’s animated film “Open Season” took first and live action movie “The Guardian” took second. Kevin Costner, co-star of “The Guardian” had his best opening weekend ever.
Of course I also need to point out that “Little Miss Sunshine” is still in the top 10!
