Beyonce Takes The Crown at The Weekend Box Office

Posted by Adam

BeyonceBeyonce Knowles has taken the crown at the weekend box office — her new Fatal Attraction-style thriller, Obsessed, has debuted with $28.5 million in ticket sales.

The film — which cost about $20 million to make — stars Knowles and Idris Elba as a couple whose ideal marriage is put on the rocks after a psychotic temp played by Ali Larter begins stalking the husband.

Zac Efron‘s 17 Again and Channing Tatum‘s Fighting are neck-and-neck for the No. 2 spot. With Sunday estimates of $11.7 million, 17 Again had the edge over Fighting, which debuted with $11.4 million.

The two movies are close enough that rankings could change when final numbers come out Monday, according to the AP.
