Unfortunatly by the look of the box office numbers I think it's been relatively disappointing.

Taking $10m on it's opening weekend it never even beat Flightplan which opened the week before.

I had hoped good word of mouth would prop up the takings, but current estimates are not that optomistic. (Fridays takings Down 59% on the previous weekend).

I've seen the film twice now. Once in Florida and once when It came out in the UK this weekend. It's fantastic, but for some strange reason it doesn't seem to be doing well in the states despite the glowing reviews. Once again the idiotic masses ignore probably the best film out at the moment.

Overseas take and DVD sales will probably be more than enough to ensure that the film turns a profit, but wether then allows for a sequel is a bit iffy at the moment.
