Jodie Foster revenge thriller The Brave One took top honours at the box office this weekend, and although it didn’t bank a ton of money, I still found it somewhat surprising. I didn’t think Foster’s name alone was a big draw for people, but apparently a lot of people just wanted to see her get her dog back. 3:10 to Yuma is still going strong in its second week, with another $9 million weekend, while Billy Bob Thornton comedy Mr. Woodcock also netted $9 mil despite awful reviews. Korean monster movie Dragon Wars placed 4th with $5 million, which is pretty impressive for a foreign film, although it was playing in over 2000 U.S. theatres. Superbad remained in the top 5 with a $5 million weekend, bringing its current total to $111 million. Wow.
