Obsessed Wins, Chris & Andre 3000 Go To Court, Plies New CD

 ”Obsessed” Thriller Dominates Movie Box Office

The new “Fatal Attraction”-style thriller “Obsessed” was the top draw at the movie box office this weekend. Starring superstar Beyonce Knowles, the film took in 28-point-five-million-dollars in its opening weekend to debut at number one. A knock-down-drag-out fight scene between Beyonce and “Heroes” TV star Ali Larter fueled a lot of buzz about the film in the weeks leading up to its release. “Obsessed” tells the story of an office temp worker, played by Larter, who becomes fixated on a married man at the office. Beyonce plays the man’s wife. Idris Elba and Jerry O’Connell also star. Last weekend’s box office champion “17 Again” took second place with almost 12-million-dollars in ticket sales. The new street fight film “Fighting,” starring Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard was third with just over eleven-million in box office receipts.
