No. 8: Black Snake Moan (Paramount Vantage, R)
• Gross: $4 million
• Weeks opened: NEW!
• Theaters: 1,252
• Per-theater average: $3,208

Also new were the acclaimed serial-killer saga «Zodiac» at No. 2 with a modest $13 million, and the kinky southern drama «Black Snake Moan» at No. 8 with $4.0 million.

«Black Snake Moan» marked writer/director Craig Brewer’s follow-up to the 2005 pimp movie «Hustle & Flow». Christina Ricci stars as the town @#%$ and Samuel L. Jackson as a grizzled bluesman who tries to mend her wicked ways. It was released by Paramount’s art-house arm Paramount Vantage. The studio said it played well in «sophisticated» markets like Los Angeles and New York, and in key southern cities like Memphis and Atlanta.
