'Wall Street 2' Banks $19M For Oliver's Best Opening; 'Guardians' #2; 'The Town' Holds

SATURDAY PM/SUNDAY AM:
Here are the Top 10 North American grosses for Friday, Saturday, weekend and cume:

1. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (Fox) NEW [3,565 Runs]
Friday $7M, Saturday $7.6M, Weekend $19M



Is it possible to make a sequel 23 years later? Only if it's an iconic original about a still relevant subject featuring a fascinating anti-hero made by a controversial director with a fine cast. The Hustler sequel Color Of Money had a 25 year span and did fine. And for weeks tracking had been strong for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. I've been obsessed with this from development through casting into production because the 1987 movie was so seminal. After all, that den of thieves is as responsible for our current financial crisis as are the politicians. The question is whether filmgoers are ready to relive pain that hasn't ended or rewind history skewed by the crazy Oliver Stone. That's his best-ever opening not adjusted for inflation or theater counts or higher ticket prices, after his 2006 World Trade Center ($18.7M) and his 2004 Alexander ($13.6M).
