Box Office: 'Tower Heist' Wins Friday, But 'Puss in Boots' Should Take Weekend

On Friday, Brett Ratner's Tower Heist -- with a cast led by Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and Matthew Broderick -- took in an estimated $8.1 million. However, Puss in Boots wasn't far behind with $7.8 million -- a narrow 18 percent drop from the previous Friday.

Senh: Looks like "Puss in Boots" will win another weekend because family films tend to do better on weekends. "Tower Heist" did decent business, although you kinda expect it to do better with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy.

 

Box Office Guru Preview: Travolta Faces Off With Denzel in 1 2 3

Two A-listers duke it out in North American multiplexes in the new action thriller The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta which will challenge last weekend's top films Up and The Hangover for a three-way race to the number one spot. Eddie Murphy also joins the fun with his latest family comedy Imagine That which will try to enter the top five. Overall ticket sales should once again fall behind last year's numbers, only by a much wider margin this time.
