WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Fury tops the chart with 23.5 million; not bad against a 68 million budget, given that Brad Pitt travels well overseas.  Gone Girl places with 17.8 million on a leggy 33 percent drop, and breaks the 100 million mark domestically (it will do the same this week in overseas markets).  The debut of The Book of Life shows with 17 million, suggesting it will recoup its 50 million production budget and need overseas receipts to profit.  Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is a leggy fourth with 12 million in competition with The Book of Life for the family demo.  The debut of The Best of Me rounds out the Top 5 with 10.2 million against a 26 million budget, probably subpar for a Nicholas Sparks weeper.  Below the fold, Dracula Untold skids 58 percent, suggesting this reboot may not get much of a boost from halloween...which falls on a Friday this year, which usually is lethal for box office.

FURY is more or less an old school war movie, albeit with post-Saving Private Ryan levels of realism and character development.  Brad Pitt, along with Logan Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Michael Pena, Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead), and even real-life nut Shia LaBeouf, deliver strong performances as a fatalistic band of brothers who crew the tank which gives the film its name.  We (and Lerman, who is particularly good here) join the crew very late in WWII, when everyone but Hitler knows the outcome.  However, as Pitt's character puts it, "It will end, soon. But before it does, a lot more people have to die."  Over the course of roughly two hours, we see the toll the war has taken on the crew and the layers of masks they wear to endure the daily, deadly grind.  A number of war movie tropes insert themselves here, and the third act spends a fair amount of the credibility earned in the first two acts, but manages not to overdraw on it. ALSO: Director David Ayer gives good interview.

STEPHEN COLLINS will likely not be prosecuted for either molesting or exposing himself to three victims.
