They were one for all and all for one, and this week “The Three Musketeers” were also No. 1 at the box office.
The movie made $10.6 million in its debut weekend. It is expected to face a stiff challenge for the top spot next week, however, from “Addams Family Values,” which opens Friday.
“The Three Musketeers” was one of three films making their weekend debut in wide release, and they finished one-two-three at the box office.
“Carlito’s Way” earned $9.1 million for second place, reversing fortunes for director Brian De Palma whose other recent films, “The Bonfire of the Vanities” and “Raising Cain” had been clunkers.
The third new film in wide release, “My Life,” made $5.536 million for third place.
Fourth place went to “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” with $5.47 million.
Here are the weekend’s top 15 films, according to Exhibitor Relations. Estimated ticket sales are from Friday through Sunday, with distributor, weekend gross, number of North American theater locations, average per location, total gross and number of weeks in release.
