Disney let the dogs out this weekend and they fetched an estimated $29 million debut total for the studio. This marks the best October debut in history for Disney. Still, the top October opener ever for remains Dimension Films' "Scary Movie 3" spoof with $8 million back on October 24th in 2003. Disney's "101 Dalmations" is the studio's top pooch performer; the Glen Close starrer raked in a cool $33 million on November 27th, 1996 before ending with $136.1 million. For a detailed comparison list of various dog flicks against "Chihuahua" please see our comparisons page. Paramount's well-performing "Eagle Eye" starring Shia Labeouf and Michelle Monaghan showed a minimal drop in comparison to it's debut weekend with a $17.7 million gross. Thus far, the D.J. Caruso helmed action thriller has posted just under $55 million.

If Michael Bay had directed War Games, it might have ended up a little like Eagle Eye, a supercharged, preposterously drawn thriller that requires a little suspension of disbelief. No, scratch that. It requires A Lot Of Suspension Of Disbelief!

In Eagle Eye, Shia Labeouf plays Jerry Shaw, an underachiever who can't seem to get out from under his more accomplished twin brother's shadow. One day, while making his way home after an emotionally grueling morning, he receives a strange phone call from a woman who ultimately plunges his life into complete and utter chaos. Faster than you can say "North By Northwest," Jerry finds himself on the run from government officials who are convinced he's involved in terrorist activities.

War Games isn't the only film that Eagle Eye borrows from. As this over wrought but fast-paced thriller blazes from one ridiculous moment to the next, one might be reminded of Enemy of the State,

"Beverly Hills Chihuahua" takes a big bite at the North American three-day weekend box office by debuting at #1 position. Exceeding many expectations with $29.3 million, the Walt Disney Pictures flick about a lost chihuahua trying to find its way home pushes aside last week topper "Eagle Eye" by collecting approximately ten million more than the crime thriller.

Played in 3,215 theaters across the country, "Chihuahua" marks the best Disney's opening ever for October. Expressing the studio's excitement over the success of the family comedy flick, Disney's president of distribution Chuck Viane let out, "In a market with seven new pictures, it's terrific to be the No. 1 movie. It's not easy to compete when there is that much distraction and people are being pulled in every direction"

Slipping down to the second place after a week sitting comfortably on the top position, Shia Labeouf and Michelle Monaghan-starring "Eagle Eye" sees a sales

Race-against-time thriller "Eagle Eye" has made September 26 to 28 weekend theirs. Opened on Friday, September 26 and played on 4,800 screens, the D.J. Caruso-directed film tops the box office chart with approximately $29.2 million. Commenting on the movie's success, DreamWorks spokesman Chip Sullivan said, "'Eagle Eye' jumpstarted the fall box office, and we couldn't be happier."

Starred by Shia Labeouf and Michelle Monaghan, the flick becomes Labeouf's second #1 feature film in 2008 following "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Securing his status as the A-lister, "Eye" also marks the second time he teams up with Caruso to deliver a box office topper after their 2007's thriller "Disturbia".

Coming up behind "Eye" is "Nights in Rodanthe". The Nicolas Spark adaptation film debuted second, pulling in about $13.4 million. Together with "Eye", the Warner Bros. Pictures romantic drama that teams up once again "The Cotton Club" and "Unfaithful" co-star, Richard Gere and Diane Lane,

Shia Labeouf has cemented himself as Hollywood latest box office champion after scoring another number one debut with his latest movie Eagle Eye.

The action film, which also stars Michelle Monaghan, took in over $29 million (GBP15.6 million) at the U.S. box office in its first weekend on release, according to early studio estimates.

It's the second number one debut for Labeouf and director D.J. Caruso, who also teamed up for Disturbia last year. Labeouf has also scored chart topping box office debuts with leading roles in Transformers and Indiana Jones + The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull.

Richard Gere and Diane Lane's romantic drama Nights in Rodanthe was a surprise high debut at two in the new countdown, with over $13 million (GBP7 million), and Samuel L. Jackson's thriller Lakeview Terrace slipped from last week's number one to three.

Another surprise was Christian drama Fireproof, which debuted in fourth place. The film stars Kirk Cameron as a firefighter trying to save his marriage.

Meanwhile, Spike Lee's World War II drama Miracle at St. Anna was the week's biggest flop - it opened poorly with just $3.5 million (GBP1.9 million) and just made the top ten at nine.

Two young actors are definitely making a lot of noise this week- Daniel Radcliffe, who is expected to wow audiences in Broadway for the play Equus, is living up to the public's expectations, while Shia Labeouf, who was cleared from a drunk driving charge, rules the Box Office with his latest movie, Eagle Eye. Let's have Shia first. Says the Hollywood Reporter: Let's not be shy about it: Eagle Eye will perch atop the weekend boxoffice. DreamWorks/Paramount's Shia Labeouf thriller opens Friday with mere pretenders to the domestic throne as competition. Rated PG-13, Eagle Eye -- which co-stars Michelle Monaghan ( The Bourne Supremacy ) and was directed by D.J. Caruso ( Disturbia ) -- is tracking best with younger males and second-best with younger females.

In the new movie Eagle Eye, three characters participate in a re-creation of the famous crop duster sequence from Hitchcock's North by Northwest. Only the plane from NbN has been replaced with an electrical tower and power lines, and it takes Shia Labeouf, Michelle Monaghan and Anthony Azizi to perform Cary Gran't part (Azizi also substitutes for the pilot and the farmer, I guess). Such an homage is not surprising coming from director D.J. Caruso, whose last picture, Disturbia, is currently involved in a lawsuit for being an uncredited remake of Hitch's Rear Window. This time, fortunately, ...

Facts of interest: Steven Spielberg served as executive producer on the film.

The plot: A slacker (Labeouf) and a single mom (Monaghan) are framed as terrorists and forced to engage in a political assassination.

Our thoughts: Big bro. is watching like never before in D.J. Caruso’s “Eagle Eye,” a totally unrealistic but thoroughly entertaining thriller that delivers enough vibrant action to make you ignore most of the film’s obvious flaws.
