Here are the figures for the past weekend, arranged from those that owe the highest percentage of their take to the Canadian box office to those that owe the lowest.
Trailer Park Boys: The Movie — CDN $1,168,053 — N.AM $1,168,053 — 100%
School for Scoundrels — CDN $1,306,001 — N.AM $13,968,000 — 9.3%
Open Season — CDN $4,034,986 — N.AM $44,129,000 — 9.1%

Jet Li’s Fearless — CDN $1,953,707 — N.AM $21,660,000 — 9.0%
The Departed — CDN $2,134,709 — N.AM $27,015,000 — 7.9%
The Guardian — CDN $2,527,566 — N.AM $32,394,000 — 7.8%
Employee of the Month — CDN $561,439 — N.AM $11,800,000 — 4.8%

A couple of discrepancies: The Canadian figure for Open Season combines the regular release ($3,579,413), which came in at #2, with the IMAX release ($455,573), which came in at #9 — so I do not know what film would have been #10 in Canada if those figures had been combined. I believe the American figure for Open Season has already combined the regular and IMAX revenues. Trailer Park Boys: The Movie was #3 on the Canadian chart (it isn’t on the North American chart at all), while Gridiron Gang and The Illusionist were #8 and #10 on the North American chart, respectively.
