The World War II actioner "Fury" starring Brad Pitt and a strong ensemble cast opened with $23 million this weekend, while "Gone Girl" eventually dropped to second place, although Fincher's mystery thriller is still going pretty strong and very close to becoming the director's highest-grossing film if it manages to surpass "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Meanwhile, this week's other wide releases, 20th Century Fox's animated fantasy "The Book of Life" opened with $17 million for a third-place ranking, and the Nicholas Sparks adaptation "The Best of Me" took fifth place in the top 10 with $10 million, an all time-low for films based on the author's books ("Dear John" opened with $30.5 million).
New Wide Releases: "Fury", "The Book of Life", "The Best of Me".
