Serious biz for 'Syriana'
WB drama soars in limited release

By BEN FRITZ

Warner Bros.' political thriller "Syriana" lit up the box office with what appears to be the best per-screen average for a Thanksgiving weekend and the second highest of 2005.

Showing big-city auds are eager for a complex political tale, the Stephen Gaghan-helmed pic made $553,372 over five days on just five screens in New York, L.A. and Toronto. Three-day take of $372,147 gave it a per-screen average of $74,429, behind only the limited bow of "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" in September, which took $77,633.

"Traffic," another political film with interweaving storylines penned by Gaghan, bowed to $184,725 on four screens, or $46,181 each, in December 2001. It went on to gross $124.1 million.

5. I saw it.

It's in limited release (only 5 screens) it averaged $74,000 per Screen this weekend.

It's a good look at how important Oil is for national security and how the CIA has it's hand in the oil trade and how we use the CIA to ensure that pro-US people run the middle east.

But it's a little boring in spots.

And there is a Gruesome torture scene.
