Weekend Box Office Final — October 10-12, 2008

All box office totals are U.S. only. SF and genre-related films in bold.

It’s a sad day in the entertainment industry when a film like “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” stays on top of the box office charts for two straight weekends in a row beating out a high-powered spy thriller coming from the dynamic trio of Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott in “Body of Lies.”
