Becoming Hostel

Brandon Gray, of Box Office Mojo has posted the preliminary numbers for this week's derby at the box office. After a few weeks going toe to toe for number one, both The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and King Kong were knocked out by the new horror flick from Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) called Hostel. With an estimated $20,100,000, the film easily ran away with the lead.

I have yet to see the movie, but by most of the accounts that I have heard about, it's a pretty gruesome flick. I am fan of the genre, so checking it out (probably as a rental) is a no brainier. Narnia comes in second with just under $15.5 million, while Kong rounds out the top three with some $12.5 million.
