Again, the eighth-, ninth-, and tenth-place films from last weekend’s list were pushed from this week’s top ten. After ten weeks, Anyone But You departs with $87.0 million earned for Columbia Pictures. Meanwhile, following three weeks in release, Focus Features managed to pull $9.4 million out of lisa Frankenstein before it fell from the top ten.
