Box Office: Prom Night Takes The Number One

Prom Night - the remake of the 1980 classic, takes the #1 after collection a little over $22 million in a relatively slow weekend for Movies in the box office. Far behind at number two we see Street Kings, which grossed a dissapointing $12 million - that's a pretty damn low #2. The third slot goes to 21, film which has collected $62 million so far, including $11 million grossed this weekend. Any other films are not even worth mentioning, except Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! Which lands at #6 adding another $6 million to its now total of $139 million in the US alone. Not bad. In coming weeks, we should see an increase when Iron Man hits the big screen, we'll see how that goes. For a complete list, click here.

Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! Keeps That #1

For the second week in a row, Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! lands at the #1 in the weekend box office after collecting another 25 million bucks to add to its now total of 86 million, that's lot of money for a film this early in the year. Landing at number dos with a debut is Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns which managed to make $20 millions, not bad. Other debuts include Shutter and Drillbit Taylor at #3 and #4 respectively. Both films opened with a little over $10 millions. Slow movie weekend overall but not too bad. For a complete list, click here.
