weekend box office

It took a movie with a zillion stars to do it, but ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ has finally been knocked off its perch at the top of the charts. Despite blistering reviews, ‘New Year’s Eve’ brought in $13.7 million in its debut, making it the most popular movie at the box office this weekend.

‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ continued to dominate at the box office this weekend, earning $42 million to easily retain its top spot on the charts.

The swords-and-sandals fantasy movie ‘Immortals’ fought off the competition to take the top spot at the box office this weekend, earning $32 million in its debut week.

In its second week of release, ‘Puss In Boots,’ the Antonio Banderas-voiced swashbuckling feline from the ‘Shrek’ franchise, pulled in $33 million in milk money to again take the top spot at the box office this weekend.

Hugh Jackman’s futuristic father-and-son action flick ‘Real Steel’ earned $16.3 million at the box office this weekend, keeping it atop the charts for the second week in a row.

It was neck-and-neck for a while, but in the end, the family-friendly ‘Dolphin Tale’ bested the Brad Pitt baseball-saga, ‘Moneyball,’ to take the top-earning spot at the box office this weekend.

It looks like the top money getter at the weekend box office was "Cars 2," which took in $68 million.
