US theatres hit by Fog

Mon 17 Oct 11:30 AM

It's obviously getting close to Halloween as another classic horror remake is currently sitting at the top of the US box office.

The Fog, a remake of the John Carpenter slasher starring Selma Blair, debuted at No.1 with $12 million this weekend, just ahead of last week's chart-topper Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Elsewhere Cameron Crowe's latest, Elizabethtown, enjoyed a solid first week at No.3, but Keira Knightley's much-maligned Domino could only limp into sixth place with $4.7 million.

The full US box office looks like this:

1. The Fog, $12.2 million.

2. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, $11.7 million.

3. Elizabethtown, $11 million.

4. Flightplan, $6.5 million.

5. In Her Shoes, $6.1 million.

6. Domino, $4.7 million.

7. Two for the Money, $4.6 million.

8. A History of Violence, $3.6 million.

9. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, $3.5 million.

10. The Gospel, $3.2 million.
