CHEAT SHEET
TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
George Clooney's still got it. Hollywood's favorite leading man trumped his competition this weekend with international action flick The American, which opened with $13 million over the weekend—not an overwhelming figure, but strong enough to win the traditionally slow Labor Day weekend. Matt Dillon and Chris Brown’s Takers, released last week, dropped down to two, followed by Machete, the grindhouse slasher film, which debuted in third with $11 million. Bad news for Drew Barrymore: The usually-bankable actress brought in less than $7 million for her new romantic comedy, Going the Distance, whose title (referencing a long-distance romance), proved to be disappointingly ironic.
