As expected, 10,000 B.C. dominated the box office, coming in at #1 with $35 mil, despite it's horrific inaccuracies. College Road Trip may have followed at #2, but only managed a truly pathetic--for Raven Simone, not Martin Lawrence--$14 mil. The Bank Job managed to come in at #5 with a rather disappointing $5.7 mil, but the critics loved its old school heist antics. The cutesy indie Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day sadly came in at #11 with $2.5 mil. I guess Amy Adams can't sell a movie just off her charm. Maybe it could've gotten more love if it had a wider release. The dramatic indie Married Life did even worse with a 9-theater release that only amassed $36,400. Even though CJ7 made $45 mil abroad, it only managed $41,000 with the 19 theaters it was given, and Snow Angels scrounged up $14,000 with two theaters.
Semi-Pro was surprisingly pushed out of the #1 spot to #4 with $25 mil. Meanwhile, The Other Boleyn Girl went from #4 to #7 with $15 mil. And unfortunately, Penelope dropped out of the top 10, from #9 to #12 with $6.8 mil. Vantage Point managed to only drop to #3 with $52 mil. The Spiderwick Chronicles are still hanging in there at #6 with $62 mil. Jumper is slowly sliding out of the top 10 to #8 with $72.5 mil. Step Up 2 the Streets is etching closer to the exit at #9 with $53 mil. And since there is a God, Fool's Gold is at the edge, #10, with $63 mil.
Next week, the action horror Doomsday goes toe-to-toe with 10,000 B.C. for the top spot. Horton Hears a Who! will battle Raven Simone for the kiddie attention. The cheestastic boxing movie Never Back Down will sully theaters, and Charlize Theron's next indie Sleepwalking will be hitting small screens.
