By October standards, the $17.2-million opening for Universal's K-PAX amounted to an otherworldly performance. Only two other October openers have ever done better.
In the final week of calm before the storm of blockbuster holiday releases strikes beginning next weekend, K-PAX, starring Kevin Spacey as a man claiming to be an alien, debuted at the box office with an estimated $17.5 million.
Critics generally agree that Kevin Spacey lives up to his name in the sci-fi (or is it?) movie K-PAX.
