Clooney's 'American' Wins Top Spot at Box Office, Raking in $16M

Tuesday, 07 September 2010

George Clooney's hitman tale "The American" has captured the top spot at the box office with a $16.4 million debut over the long U.S. Labor Day holiday weekend. The revenge romp "Machete" and the heist thriller "Takers" were in a duel for second-place. "Machete" led with $14 million from Friday to Monday. "Takers" followed with $13.5 million, though the two movies were close enough that rankings could change once final numbers are released Tuesday. "Takers," which had been the No. 1 movie the previous weekend, raised its 10-day total to $40 million. Since opening Wednesday, "The American" has taken in $19.5 million. The weekend's other new wide release, Drew Barrymore's romance "Going the Distance," opened with $8.6 million.
