AMERICAN GANGSTER IS A BIG HIT

DENZEL WASHINGTON and RUSSELL CROWE's new real-life crime drama has stunned America with an amazing opening weekend at the box office.

Denzel Washington as Frank Lucas and Russell Crowe as Detective Richie Roberts in 'American Gangster'

The film, in which Washington plays real-life heroin dealer Frank Lucas, raked in $46.3 million (GBP23.15 million) in its first three days on release - more than $10 million (GBP5 million) more than estimated.

The opening marked personal bests for both Washington and Crowe. Jerry Seinfeld's animated comedy Bee Movie also over-achieved with an opening weekend take of $39.1 million (GBP19.55 million).

Last week's (28Oct08) chart-topper, Saw IV, fell to a distant No. 3 with $11 million (GBP5.5 million).
