Nicolas Cage's Knowing Sees Big Numbers

While few experts could agree which movie might win the box office last week, of the three high-profile new movies, Alex Proyas' sci-fi thriller Knowing (Summit) starring Nicolas Cage was the clear victor, bringing in an estimated $24.8 million in 3,332 theaters--the widest release of the new movies as well as having the largest per-theater average of the Top 10. Coming in second place was John Hamburg's new comedy I Love You, Man , starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, which earned an estimated $18 million, averaging $6600 per site in 600 fewer theaters. Opening in third place, the Julia Roberts-Clive Owen espionage comedy Duplicity (Universal) from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Tony Gilroy ( Michael Clayton ) took in $14.4 million.
