True Grit, the latest film from the Coen brothers (and a remake of the classic Western novel), topped this weekend's box office with a reported $15 million. The film is now the Coen brother's biggest hit, grossing over $110 million domestically, and should continue to do well through awards season.
The film, starring Jeff Bridges, was strong enough to fend off Little Fockers, the latest installment in the Meet the Parents franchise, and Gwyneth Paltrow's latest flick Country Strong.
Speaking of Country Strong, the film saw its first full weekend of wide released, grossing $7.3 million - good, considering the movie's reported budget of $12.5 million.
Elsewhere this weekend, Nicolas Cage scored another sub par debut with another sub par movie, as his Season of the Witch came in at #3 with $10.7 million. Cage has been releasing a crap load of crappy movies this year (does Sorcerer's Apprentice ring a bell?), which I guess is good since he has a lot of bills to pay.
Did you have a good weekend??
