There isn't much to add from earlier in the week except that Lars and the Real Girl (MGM) won't be going as wide as we expected but Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited (Fox Searchlight) will be expanding into 698 theatres, but that probably won't be enough to get it into the Top 10, as it winds up just outside with $2.2 million. There's still a tight race for third place between 30 Days of Night and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? which might not clear up until actuals are announced on Monday, but otherwise, the returning movies will fall behind the two new movies in wide release.
1. Saw IV (Lionsgate) - $28.9 million N/A (down .3 million)
2. Dan in Real Life (Disney/Touchstone) - $8.2 million N/A (up .3 million)
3. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? (Lionsgate) - $7.0 million -43% (same)
4. 30 Days of Night (Sony) - $6.9 million -57% (up .2 million)
5. The Game Plan (Disney) - $6.1 million -25% (up .2 million)
6. Michael Clayton (Warner Bros) - $4.4 million -34% (down .2 million)
7. Gone Baby Gone (Miramax) - $3.5 million -36% (same)
8. We Own the Night (Sony) - 3.0 million -45% (up .1 million)
9. Tim Burton's Nightmare Before X-Mas (Disney) - $2.8 million -48% (new)
10. The Comebacks (Fox Atomic) – 2.7 million – 52% (same)
- The Darjeeling Limited (Fox Searchlight) - $2.2 million (new)
