Box Office Charts: w/e 21 September 2007

Jodie Foster proves she still has a fan-base, putting her at #1 with The Brave One -- although takings for the US box-office is noticeably lower now summer's almost over. 3:10 To Yuma hangs onto #2, while Billy Bob Thornton comedy Mr Woodcock is a surprise at #3. South-Korean/US hybrid monster mash D-War disappoints at #5 with a paltry $5m, Halloween takes a huge drop to #6, and summer threequels Bourne and Rush Hour 3 start to wave bye-bye...

In the UK, Simon Pegg keeps the Superbad threat from toppling him at #1 with Run, Fat Boy, Run, Atonement is proving to be a draw for more high-brow audiences and Bourne is till packing them in. Disturbia has a very disappointing opening at #5, but not as awful as Clive Owen's Shoot 'Em Up, which has similarly flopped in the UK with a measly £374k opening week! 3:10 To Yuma takes a hideous drop to #8 from #1 just last week!
