Weekend Box Office preliminary results

Per TheWrap:

The Social Network: $23M. Under some projections ($28M), but a pretty strong opening for the $40M budgeted movie. Meanwhile:

Starring Renee Zellweger as a social worker dealing with a demonic young client, Paramount Vantage’s long-warehoused “Case 39” grossed $5.4 million playing at 2,211 North American engagements. The $27 million film was released abroad earlier this year, already making $17 million.

Meanwhile, Overture’s “Let Me In” — a remake of Swedish critics’ darling “Let the Right One In” — grossed $5.3 million playing at 2,021 theaters in the U.S. and Canada. The film cost just under $20 million to make.

Weak openings as October’s bloodbath of horror movies begins. 

Who saw what this weekend? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?
