Weekend Box Office: "Classy" vigilante movie slays competition
The "classy" vigilante flick The Brave One shanked the competition on a slow September weekend, taking in a modest $14 million for first place. Despite two years of breathless anticipation leading up to its release, Mr. Woodcock could only manage $9.1 million for third while the Korean monster movie Dragon Wars netted $5.4 for fourth. Though the latter total is paltry for a movie opening on 2,000 screens, we're still depressed that it's already made more domestically than the infinitely superior Korean monster movie from last year, The Host.
