Call Of The Wild

Where the Wild Things Are wins the top spot...While Law Abiding Citizen takes #2...





The Stepfather remake settles for 5th place thanks to "Shocktober" surprise--the ever expanding Paranormal Activity.

Andrew Srewart of Variety:

Warner Bros.' Spike Jonze-directed "Where the Wild Things Are" put up strong numbers at the nation's box office this weekend, easily taking the top spot with an estimated $32.5 million at 3,735 playdates. Still, auds spread the wealth with healthy figures going to Overture's "Law Abiding Citizen" and Paramount's "Paranormal Activity."

"Citizen," starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, figured in at no. 2, earning an estimated $21.3 million at 2,890.

"Paranormal Activity" continued to play well with auds, scaring up $20.2 million at 760. Paramount's micro-budgeted pic has cumed an estimated $33.7 million with plans to expand to some 1,800 locations starting next weekend...

After a long and troubled production, Warner Bros.' Where the Wild Things Are found its supper waiting...
