'Final Destination' wins weekend


August 30, 2009 Underscoring the arrival of 3D cinema, Warner Bros.' gorefest "The Final Destination" topped the domestic boxoffice during the weekend with a surprisingly strong, franchise-best bow estimated at $28.3 million. Rob Zombie's "Halloween II" had tricked some prerelease forecasters into predicting a No. 1 debut for the sequel horror remake but still proved treat enough for the Weinstein Co. with a solid $17.4 million in third place. The 10 top films collected $110 million during the weekend; Nielsen EDI said that was 28% more than last year's comparable Friday-Sunday span, which fell on Labor Day weekend.
