Shia LaBeouf continues to mine gold, as his latest flick, the action thriller "Eagle Eye" took the top spot at the box office this past weekend, pulling in just over $29 million despite facing competition Friday from the presidential debate.
Richard Gere and Diane Lane had a solid opening in second spot with $13.6 million, as the romantic drama "Nights in Rodanthe" managed to draw support from the older female moviegoers. Meanwhile, the Samuel L. Jackson thriller "Lakeview Terrace" had a modest drop in its second week, posting $7 million in ticket sales - good enough for third place.
In fourth place was a movie we missed on our new release list last week - "Fireproof", a Christian-themed firefighting drama starring Kirk Cameron which benefited from advance bookings by church groups. Spike Lee didn't fare as well, as his World War II drama "Miracle at St. Anna" languished in ninth place with $3.5 million.
Last weekend's full top 10 was as follows:
1. Eagle Eye - $29.2 M
2. Nights in Rodanthe - $13.6 M
3. Lakeview Terrace - $7 M
4. Fireproof - $6.5 M
5. Burn After Reading - $6.2 M
6. Igor - $5.5 M
7. Righteous Kill - $3.8 M
8. My Best Friend's Girl - $3.8 M
9. Miracle at St. Anna - $3.5 M
10. Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys - $3.2 M
