The Prestige Takes the Box Office

Posted on October 23, 2006

The Prestige starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson won the box office this past weekend, with an estimated take of $14,818,000. Martin Scorcese's The Departed came in second with an estimated take of $13,675,000.

In third place was the World War II story, Flags of our Fathers with an estimated take of $10,200,000. That has to be a disappointing opening weekend for director Clint Eastwood. In fifth place was the girl and her horse story, Flicka, which made an estimated $7,700,000.

Opening in limited release, Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette made $5,300,000. Playing in 859 theaters, the film which stars Jason Schwartzman and Kirsten Dunst made a very nice $6,169 per theater.
