Funny how we’ve been hammered about how bad the box office takings have been over the summer and how it looks like the end of cinema is near when this weekend hit a high note. Takings in the US, driven by films like Jodie Foster’s new film, Flightplan, and Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride (which jumped from 23rd to 2nd in the rankings) were 51% higher than during the same period last year and up 26% on last weekend, and all this despite much of the southern US being in turmoil. Maybe the audiences were just waiting for something to watch.
