- One mild surprise was that Flightplan defeated Corpse Bride in their battle for the top spot;
- another was that the three new films took the top three spots in the "revenues per screen" category, as Roll Bounce proved surprisingly appealing.
- The big story of the week was the total size of the Top 12 take. Those numbers below are massive by September standards. The three new films alone took in nearly as much as all of last year's films added together. Overall, the Box Office was an astronomical 51% ahead of last year. (EXPLANATORY NOTE: last year was a fluke in many ways, good and bad. In this particular week, last year was far behind 2003. A more measured comparison can be derived by comparing 2005 to 2003. This year is higher than 2003, but only by single digits, which would indicate a moderate and sustainable level of growth.)
