Weekend Box Office : ‘Seven’ Makes It Four Weeks at No. 1
New Line Cinema’s “Seven” kept its top place among the fall movies for the fourth consecutive weekend, tying Universal’s “Apollo 13,” which achieved that feat this summer. “How to Make an American Quilt” actually improved its position from its opening last week, going from fifth to fourth place. Of the new films, Paramount’s thriller “Jade” edged out Disney’s “The Scarlet Letter,” followed by Fox’s “Strange Days.”
