The teen targeted Rear Window rip-off Disturbia was number one at the box office this weekend, beating out it's closest newcomer competition, the Halle Berry-Bruce Willis vehicle Perfect Stranger, which debuted in a weak 4th place.

Grindhouse, regrettably, continues to bomb, falling to 10th place, with a cumulative gross of $19,700,000. Apparently the concept was lost on the majority of Americans.

Miramax's excellent The Hoax is in 16th place with a rather peaked $1,652,000 in just 413 theaters in its first week out of expansion, although the $4,000 per-screen average isn't bad. But as the best English language feature I have had the pleasure of seeking this year (and the first with truly Oscar-worthy performances), it really deserves more. But more on that later.
