Obsessed is No. 1 at box office

Written by Barbara Vancheri on .

Never discount the value of a PG-13 rating and a promised cat fight between Beyonce Knowles and Ali Larter.

Beyonce doesn't sing in "Obsessed." Didn't need to, as prelimary figures for the weekend show. The recycled "Fatal Attraction," with a wife and an office seductress warring over Idris Elba, was No. 1 with an estimated $28.5 million.

The Associated Press reports these early numbers, courtesy of Media by Numbers, which will issue final figures tomorrow:

1. "Obsessed," $28.5 million.

2. "17 Again," $11.7 million.

3. "Fighting," $11.4 million.

4. "The Soloist," $9.7 million.

5. "Earth," $8.6 million.

6. "Monsters vs. Aliens," $8.5 million.

7. "State of Play," $6.9 million.

8. "Hannah Montana: The Movie," $6.4 million.

9. "Fast & Furious," $6.1 million.

10. "Crank: High Voltage," $2.4 million.
