WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Gone Girl tops the chart with 38 million, well beyond tracking estimates in the mid-20s. While not as big as Gravity debuting in this frame, it almost certainly means Oscar buzz for director David Fincher and his cast, but more on that in my review below.  Annabelle places with 37 million against a reported 6.5 million budget (much smaller than The Conjuring's 20 million).  That means profit, though marketing costs were likely in the 30-40 million range.  The Equalizer shows with 19 million on a 44 percent drop that's pretty leggy in light of the competition from both Gone Girl and Annabelle.  Breaking the 100 million mark worldwide, The Equalizer looks like a solid hit.  Leggier still was The Boxtrolls, which took 12.4 million in the fourth slot on a mere 28 percent drop, reflecting the overall lack of family fare on screens at the moment.  Rounding out the Top 5 is The Maze Runner with 12 million; its 73 million total is more than matched overseas, where it has broken the 100 million mark.

GONE GIRL: Aside from his directorial debut on Alien 3, David Fincher doesn't make bad movies. He delivers again with an adaptation of Gillian Flynn's hit novel, for which she supplied the screenplay about the suspicion falling Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) when his wife (Rosamund Pike) disappears.  Not having read the novel, but having read about it, Gone Girl plays well not only as a mystery potboiler, but also as an acid commentary on marriage...or at least dysfunctional marriages. The movie opens with Nick noting that when he thinks about his wife, he thinks about her head. In particular, cracking open her skull to find out what is really going on inside.  Ben Affleck is easy to dislike in the role, and obviously brings some real-world experience to being an object of harsh media scrutiny.  Rosamund Pike, who has played everything from a Bond girl to Jane Bennett in Pride and Prejudice, excels here asmissing wife Amy Dunne, whose diary entriesultimately reveal a woman as enigmatic as Nick suspects.  Tyler Perry will find a broader audience with his portrayal of a Johnnie Cochran-esque defense attorney, while Neil Patrick Harris also turns in a creditable performance as one of Amy's former beaus, who seems to be carrying a torch for Amy years later.  I won't spoil any of the twists, but I will say the final one may be the most disturbing.
