Scorcese Hits Number One
Martin Scorcese's The Departed ruled the box office this weekend, easily beating off the competition with an estimated take of $27 million. The film is a remake of the Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs. In second place was the wholly unecessary prequel, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, which made an estimated $19,150,000.
Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook failed to ignite box office magic with their romantic comedy, Employee of the Month which made an estimated $11,800,000. Sony's Open Season came in fourth, making another $16,000,000, for a total box office take so far of $44,129,000 (it cost $88 million to make), but will no doubt do very well on DVD like most animated films. In fifth place was The Guardian which is in its second week and has made a total of $32,394,000.
