Star-studded Vantage Point raised $22.8 million over the past three days making it this weekend’s clear winner. The film, starring Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox, gives viewers multiple perspectives of a presidential assassination attempt. Although the Pete Travis movie received less than positive reviews, the action thriller easily outearned its nearest competitor, The Spiderwick Chronicles.
The only other new entry in the Top Ten was Michel Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind. The Jack Black/Mos Def comedy opened in limited release and averaged over $5000 per screen. Aside from Vantage, every other chart topper earned less than $4000 per theater.
