Quentin Tarantino's new epic, Inglourious Basterds (sorry, spell-checker), was the top film at domestic theaters this past weekend, according to Boxofficemojo. Distributed by The Weinstein Company, Basterds took in around $37 million, as of early estimates.
Last week's number-one flick, Sony's (NYSE: SNE) District 9, dropped to second place this time around, but don't feel too badly for the project. The cumulative gross on it is well beyond $70 million at this point. A $100 million domestic take should be a lock. Then again, $100 million isn't what it used to be; still, the movie supposedly didn't cost a ton of money, so perhaps the studio will do okay financially (see my previous box-office article for a discussion on budgets, as well as an insightful comment from a reader on the subject).
