Weekend Box Office

13th Nov 2006, 20:00 GMT

It's still sexy time for Borat at the box office. Having expanded into 2,566 theaters, the Fox comedy starring Sacha Baron Cohen remained atop the North American box office with $29 million. Borat's 10-day total now stands at $67.8 million, according to Sunday's estimates. In fact, the top three films at the box office were in the same respective rankings as last weekend. Remaining in the second spot was Disney's The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause with $16.9 million, and the Paramount-DreamWorks toon Flushed Away was still in third place with $16.7 million. Sony's Stranger Than Fiction, featuring Will Ferrell in his most dramatic role yet, debuted in fourth place with $14.1 million. Rounding out the top five was Lionsgate's Saw III with $6.6 million. Paramount Vantage's Babel, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, expanded into 1,251 theaters for a sixth place finish of roughly $5.7 million. Warners' The Departed was in seventh place with $5.2 million. Two new wide releases debuted this weekend to less than stellar results. The Rogue horror pic The Return, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, bowed in eighth place with about $4.8 million, while Fox had a bad weekend with A Good Year. The Russell Crowe-Ridley Scott romantic dramedy opened in tenth place with a paltry $3.8 million. Buena Vista's The Prestige slipped to ninth place with $4.6 million. Another Christian Bale starrer, Harsh Times , had a rough debut this weekend. The MGM release opened in only 956 theaters for a $1.8 million take to finish in 13th place. Here are the weekend estimates... Rank Prior Film Title Distributor Weekend Total Weeks Theaters 1 1 Borat Fox $29,000,000 $67,840,000 2 2566 2 2
