A couple of discrepancies: Based on its first two weeks, the Canadian figure for Open Season may or may not include its IMAX screenings. The Queen and The Guardian were #5 and #10 on the Canadian chart, respectively (they were #14 and #11 in North America as a whole), while The Grudge 2 and Running with Scissors were #8 and #10 on the North American chart, respectively.
