“Saw III“, the gory horror thriller, dominated the box office this weekend with $34.3 million in sales, according to studio estimates this Sunday. That impressive opening is the highest ever for the Saw trilogy.
Martin Scorsese’s cops and robbers story “The Departed” marked a very strong third weekend by taking in $9.8 million to come in second.
Coming in third was “The Prestige“, Disney’s mysterious tale of obsession, with $9.6 million. The movie raised its 10-day take to $28.8 million.
Clint Eastwood’s World War II epic “Flags of Our Fathers” was No. 4 with $6.35 million.
“Catch a Fire“, a story of apartheid in South Africa, premiered with only $2 million in ticket sales.
