Box office blog: Scaring up a winner
Who says people have had enough "Halloween" movies? Rob Zombie's remake of the original slasher classic topped the box office over the holiday weekend with a better-than-predicted $31 million. In fact, that makes the otherwise disappointing "Halloween" the highest-grossing Labor Day debut ever, ahead of the previous champ, 2005's "Transporter 2" with $18.1 million. In third place this week was "Balls of Fury" with an OK $14.3 million, far better than the week's big bomb, "Death Sentence." Kevin Bacon's action flick took in only $5.2 million to land at No. 8. Do you prefer the original "Halloween" or the remake? Does the title "Balls of Fury" make you giggle?
