The teaming of Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx proved dynamic over the weekend when their new action thriller "Collateral" debuted in top spot at the U.S. box office. The tale of a Los Angeles cab driver held hostage by a contract killer grossed $24.4 million amid generally positive reviews. That knocked last weekend's champ, M. Night Shyamalan's eery "The Village," into second spot with $16.6 million. "The Bourne Supremacy" starring Matt Damon continued its strong run in third place with $14.1 million. Denzel Washington's much-touted remake, "The Manchurian Candidate," mustered only another $10.8 million, earning it the distinction of one of the summer's biggest disappointments. The romantic comedy "Little Black Book" rounded out the top five by debuting with a $7 million gross. Rounding out the top ten were: "I, Robot" ($6.3 million); "Spider-Man 2" ($5.5 million); "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" ($3.2 million); "A Cinderella Story" ($3.04 million); and "Catwoman" ($2.9 million).
