Their film didn't top the box office, nor did it have the best per screen average -- but Joel and Ethan Coen still have reason to smile.
True Grit, a two-time second-place finisher, has now grossed $86.7 million domestically -- a new record for the writing/directing duo. The Western, which added another $24.4 million to its total this past weekend, has officially surpassed the Coen brothers' previous record. (No Country for Old Men, released in 2007, raised $74.3 million.)
The only other notable item in the Top Ten this week was The King's Speech. The critically-acclaimed film replaced The Tourist in the tenth-place spot and averaged $11,108 per theater.
