The numbers were a little down on last week, despite a number of new openers, including a new Ridley Scott film and another Blair Witch-style offerring.

The number one film on Friday was QUARANTINE, another film to follow along the lines of The Blair Witch Project. It took in an estimated 5.35 million on Friday and will likely to be a big win for distributors Sony and Screen Gems as the budget was only 12 million.

The number two film is last weekend's number one champ, BEVERLEY HILLS CHIHUAHUA. The Disney flick took in another 4.5 million to take its total to 39.5 million.

Moving on to more serious fare, Ridley Scott's BODY OF LIES sadly debuts in number three position with an estimated 4.35 million. This will need excellent word of mouth to see a good return as the budget was 70 million.

EAGLE EYE took out number four spot, still churning through some decent numbers. It took in an estimated 3.2 million and now currently sits with 62.3 million, closing in on its 80 million budget.

NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST landed in fifth spot, taking in an estimated 2.125 million. The film has grossed 16.4 million and is a big winner as its production budget was only 10 million.

Rounding out the top 10 for Friday are the following:

THE EXPRESS - 1.5M (1.5M Total)
NIGHTS IN RODANTHE - 1.45M (29.2M Total)
APPALOOSA - 1M (8.57M Total)
THE DUCHESS - 1M (3.3M Total)
FIREPROOF - 1M (14M Total)

The North American box office in total took in 25.5 million for the whole of Friday 10th October 2008.
