The new Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy "Sweet Home Alabama" attracted movie-goers like bees to honey this weekend, setting a new record for a North American box office opening in September, according to studio estimates issued on Sunday.

While "Sweet Home Alabama" got mixed reviews from critics, with some calling it predictable and filled with Southern cliches, the film and Witherspoon, 26, demonstrated wide audience appeal, pulling in a record $37.5 million for the Friday-to-Sunday period, the largest tally for a September debut since "Rush Hour" with $33 million in 1998.

"Any time you can set a record, you always feel extremely good and it shows the strength of a movie starring Reese Witherspoon," said Chuck Viane, the president of Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, a unit of Walt Disney Co, which released the film on about 3,000 screens.
