A couple of discrepancies: Blood Diamond and Children of Men were #7 and #9 on the Canadian chart, respectively (they were #21 and #16 in North America as a whole), while Catch and Release and Stomp the Yard were #4 and #5 on the North American chart, respectively. Plus, for some reason only the top nine films on the Canadian chart were reported this week; the #10 film on the North American chart was The Hitcher.
