This Week's Black @ the Box Office

Last week's box office champ, Sony Screen Gems' "Obsessed," fell 57% to third place with $12.2 million. The thriller starring Idris Elba, Beyonce Knowles and Ali Larter pushing its 10-day total to $47 million. The $20 million budgeted pic should finish north of $0 million by the end of its U.S. run.

Things aren't looking very good for the Jamie Foxx-Robert Downey Jr. starrer, "The Soloist," which tumbled 42% to sixth place with $5.6 million, putting the film's disappointing 10-day cume at $18.1 million. Analysts are predicting the $60 million budgeted Paramount/ DreamWorks/Universal co-production should gross $30 million by the end of its domestic run.
