Brad Pitt Strengthens his Box-Office Success

It’s no coincidence that it’s one of the favourites for the Oscars, with 13 nominations, including Best Actor, Best Picture and Best Director. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starring Brad Pitt, is for the second consecutive week the most-seen film in our country. Here it has earned 2,414,590 Euro, and has already amassed a grand total of 7,171,650. Competition was tough at the weekend, with several big releases, but this film, directed by David Fincher, won the battle hands down.

Second place goes to the comedy Beverly Hills Chihuahua .

The film sensation of the year, Slumdog Millionaire, comes third in its first week of release, having earned 997,546 Euro. Given that this film has got where it is today purely by word of mouth, it’s highly probable that it will stay at the top for several more weeks.

Another favourite for the Oscars, The Reader, has gained fourth position. It’s definitely worth seeing this award-winning performance from Kate Winslet, as the 127,811 spectators who spent 805,888 Euro at the box office obviously thought.

The remake of Friday the 13th was a success in the United States, although here in Spain it seems that we’re tired of the lack of originality. This film, in fifth place, has collected 737,042 Euro. Next in line is Valkiria with 681,668 Euro.

Will Smith’s latest film, Seven Souls, continues raking it in at the box-office. It’s been showing for five weeks now and is still in the Top Ten (seventh place). This feature-length movie has now earned a total of 9,068,778 Euro.

The eighth place goes to Doubt, with 277.501 Euro. Following close on its heels is the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, Revolutionary Road, with 258,363 Euro. Last but not least comes the French film Welcome to the Sticks with 184,332 Euro.
