Box Office Report: Sept. 14-16

Showing she still has the ability to open a picture after all these years, Jodie Foster’s new crime drama, “The Brave One” opened at number one over the weekend, taking in $13.5 million. Last week’s number one, “3:10 to Yuma,” dropped to second with $8.9 million. The long delayed comedy, “Mr. Woodcock,” starring Billy Bob Thornton, was able to snag third place, while “Dragon Wars” (your guess is as good as mine) debuted in fifth.

The worldwide top 10 movies remained locked in their positions for the second straight weekend, with little chance of movement anytime soon.
