The Jodie Foster vigilante flick "The Brave One" scared up $14 million at the box office to become the weekend's top film.
The R-rated vigilante flick The Brave One, directed by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game) and starring Jodie Foster, is expected to take the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend. Analysts predict it will sell about $20 worth of tickets and push last week's winner, the western 3:10 to Yuma, off the tracks with about $7 million. (Ironically, the film arrives at the same time a "hybrid" documentary/drama about blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo is being hailed at the Toronto Film Festival. Trumbo, under the pseudonym Robert Rich, won an Oscar for best screenplay for another film titled The Brave One in 1957.)
