Three other new films -- all doing better than expected -- chased Burn After Reading at the box office: Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys took in $18 million, Pacino and De Niro helped Righteous Kill make $16.5 million, and The Women opened with $10.1 million. All four of those films did better than Bangkok Dangerous did in its opening last weekend, when it managed just $7.8 million to top the weekend. (Bangkok added $2.4 million for eighth place, with $12.5 million in two weeks.)

The other news this weekend is that Tropic Thunder added another $4.2 million in its fifth week, good enough for sixth place for the weekend and enough to tip it over the $100 million box office mark ($103 million and counting).
