Take that! Take that! Take that! George Clooney and his lone rifle took down Idris Elba and Paul Walker’s entire crew over the Labor Day weekend. They’ve still got Monday to rake in more dough but so far The American has topped the charts earning over 12 million dollars from Friday to Sunday. It’s a weak start but it was strong enough to hold off both Takers and Machete’s $11 million.
