Box Office Report: Sept. 22-24

Not really to any surprise that stupidity reigned this past weekend at the box office, as Johnny Knoxville and his fellow, well, jackasses, easily snagged the top spot on the charts, netting nearly $30 million. “Jet Li’s Fearless” was the only other film to make a dent on its opening weekend domestically, as “Flyboys” and the critically-panned “All the King’s Men” both bombed. Although Sean Penn has been receiving good notices for his performance in “All the King’s Men,” the movie is seeing its Oscar chances rapidly going down the drain.
