AP - Denzel Washington's reunion with Spike Lee put them on the inside track at the box office.

Reuters - Denzel Washington and director Spike Lee scored the best opening of their careers on Sunday, as the heist thriller "Inside Man" grabbed the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office in North America with estimated ticket sales of $29 million.

Reuters - Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen should pull an "Inside" job at the weekend box office with their new thriller.
