There were seven new releases to chart this week including the new number one rental, Flags of Our Fathers, which pulled in $7.66 million during its first weekend of release.
Despite the glut of new releases, there were three holdovers in a row with The Marine coming in second place with $5.22 million. Open Season and Flyboys were neck and neck at $4.96 million and $4.74 million respectively. Two new releases were in an extremely close battle for fifth place with Flicka just beating out The Grudge 2 $4.11 million to $4.08 million.
Other new releases were led by Hollywoodland in eighth place with $3.78 million. Running With Scissors finished one place behind with $3.48 million while placing 12th was The Science of Sleep $2.80 million. Well back in 31st place was Trust the Man with $1.28 million, which is still a strong result for a limited release film.
