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.
Away from Her — CDN $711,944 — N.AM $3,253,000 — 21.9%
Georgia Rule — CDN $2,310,000 — N.AM $18,109,000 — 12.8%
Fracture — CDN $4,800,000 — N.AM $38,052,000 — 12.6%

Shrek the Third — CDN $22,040,000 — N.AM $254,611,000 — 8.7%
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End — CDN $16,280,000 — N.AM $216,527,000 — 7.5%
Knocked Up — CDN $2,110,000 — N.AM $29,284,000 — 7.2%
Mr. Brooks — CDN $579,454 — N.AM $10,020,000 — 5.8%
A couple of discrepancies: The Canadian figure for Spider-Man 3 combines the regular release ($29,650,000), which came in at #4, with the IMAX release ($2,260,000), which came in at #7 — 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 Spider-Man 3 has already combined the regular and IMAX revenues. Georgia Rule, Away from Her and Fracture were #8, #9 and #10 on the Canadian chart, respectively (they were #12, #15 and #13 in North America as a whole), while Waitress, Gracie, Bug and Disturbia were #6, #7, #8 and #10 on the North American chart, respectively.
UPDATE: The Canadian Press reports slightly different figures, and has only one figure for Spider-Man 3. It also reports that Wild Hogs was #10 on the Canadian chart (it was #11 in North America as a whole). The CP gives weekend figures only, and not the cumes, so I don’t have enough info to revise my list.
