All together the final installment has managed $14,838,072, a hit no doubt, but still much less than its predecessor. Scoring a debut at #3 was Jessica Biel's sweet ass in horror 're-invention' THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE which scared audiences out of $1,092,533.

SEABISCUIT fell back 20% out of the #2 spot with $608,364, taking the Oscar potential drama's total to $1,945,476. Missing the Top 5 on their first week in was Brittany Murphy and Dakota Fanning in UPTOWN GIRLS which brought in $504,462. Continuing hold relatively strong after 5 weeks in release is George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones in the offbeat comedy INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, which dropped off 38%. The Coen Brothers have managed a healthy little sum of $7,691,349. Will Ferrell continued with his last round of Advance Screenings with the comedy ELF, opening nationally this week, which scored him $347,930, taking its total to $578,691. Meg Ryan's saucy drama IN THE CUT saw her drop off, amongst other things, 27% in its second week, taking it to $833,801. KILL BILL exited the Top 10 after 5 consecutive weeks, down to #11 with a 6th week intake of $192,057. It's cumulative total sits at $7,575,742. Very nice indeed. Rising 51% in its 9th week of release is the Toni Collette drama JAPANESE STORY which continues to perform impressively. The Aussie pic has racked up $3,202,349. Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts continue to srop with their Parisian romance, LE DIVORCE. So afr it has taken in $696,509. The Spelling Bee doco SPELLBOUND amazingly increased audience interest with a rise of 18% in its second week. Maintaining the 16th spot, the flick has $253,214 to its name. Also rising 18% to bring it back into the charts is the IMAX feature TITANIC 3D which after 12 weeks has fascinated audiences out of $1,508,426. Not bad for a film on 2 screens. The period comedy NICHOLAS NICKELBY didn't get much interest over this past weekend, with the period comedy managing $48,103.
