LOS ANGELES — Enough viewers saw "The Invisible Man" this weekend to propel it to the top of the North American box office, with $28.2 million in ticket sales, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Monday.That result for the Friday-to-Sunday period more than justified Universal's bet on a remake of the famous H.G. Wells story — the movie's $7 million production budget has already been dwarfed by its $20 overseas box office and it has drawn strong reviews.The thriller stars the visibly talented Elisabeth Moss as the ex-girlfriend of a man (British actor Oliver Jackson-Cohen) who seems to return to haunt her after supposedly committing suicide.Slipping from the top spot in its third week out was Paramount's adventure comedy "Sonic the Hedgehog," at...
