...take was 63% higher than that of Halloween 2. The teen slasher film cadged $17.4 million and will finish the frame in third place, behind the Nazi-scalping-and strangling Inglourious Basterds. Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic dropped a less-than-expected 47% from last weekend to pull in about $20 million.

...Still, the decision to approve the fill and finish steps underscores how unusual H1N1 is, and highlights the fact that the upcoming flu season may yet hold surprises. In its report, PCAST also released projections of how severe the pandemic could get: up to 120 million people coughing, sneezing, feverish and otherwise sick with the symptoms of flu, 90,000 people potentially dead from the illness, and half to 100% of beds in intensive care units of hospitals in hard-hit regions filled with flu patients...
