Sunday Box Office: Halloween Falls To $6.9M; Headed For $31.3M 4-Day; The Nines Tops PTA

By Steve Mason/Sept. 3, 2007 2:04 am EST

Superbad (Sony) got a 9% Sunday bump for an estimated $4.68M. The Judd Apatow-produced, Seth Rogen-written comedy will finish the long weekend with approximately $15.73M, and the R-rated hit has broken past the $90M mark. The Bourne Ultimatum (Universal) enjoyed a 4% increase, while Rogue Releasing’s Balls of Fury dipped 10% on Sunday, giving Bourne a 3rd place Sunday finish. Balls, however, will be #3 for the 4-day weekend with $13.79M to $13.52M for the Damon/Greengrass thriller.

Looking at the numbers, you’ll see a nearly 40% jump for WAR (Lionsgate) on its 2nd Sunday. People didn’t just suddenly discover the Jet Li-Jason Statham action flick. Most of Lionsgate’s 340 or so sneaks of 3:10 to Yuma were part of WAR’s Sunday number.

Finally, The Nines (Newmarket Films) claims the 4-day PTA crown with almost 14,000 per screen. Halloween will finish a rather disappointing 4th in per screen average.
