- The weekend's big loser: Clint Eastwood, whose ambitious, honorable, big-budget war movie took in a mere $10 million on opening weekend, far below already modest expectations.
- The big winner: Martin Scorsese, who finally seems to have a genuine hit. The Departed dropped only 28% from last week, and almost won the weekend - in its third week! Given the results and the 94% positive reviews, the studio has to be regretting releasing this in the weakest period of the year instead of waiting until Thanksgiving.
- Honorable meention: Tim Burton, whose re-released Christmas movie in 3-D took in an impressive $20,000 per screen to finish 12th, despite being on fewer than 200 screens. Burton's movie took in more than Employee of the Month, although the latter was on two THOUSAND screens.
