Master of his domain
Seinfeld movie's strong debut
Jerry Seinfeld's new movie, Comedian, has had a strong opening weekend in the States.
The film opened in just four New York and Los Angeles cinemas, but took $61,000.
That's $15,250 per venue - eight times more than Madonna's new romance Swept Away, which also opened this weekend.
Comedian, which charts Seinfeld's return to stand-up after the end of his hugely successful TV show, opens more widely on October 25.
The Hannibal Lecter prequel Red Dragon, remained America's top movie for a second weekend, taking in $17.6 million.
