The competition at the box office was pretty stiff with 6 new movies released this weekend. Considering how many ways the box office earnings had to be split the number 1 movie still pulled a pretty nice haul. This weekend’s winner was the new release, TMNT, with $25.4 million. Still holding on to a strong earning of $20.5 million in its third week was the ever popular movie 300. There weren’t any extreme bombs considering all 6 new releases ended up in the top ten with Pride being the lowest earner of the new crowd at #9 with $4 million.

Good to see TMNT doing so well. I know I’ll be contributing my $7.50 sometime this week.
Are you holding another contest anytime soon?

Absolutely. It’ll open back up early tomorrow and will run all week.
I’m also kinda interested to see TMNT. The old ones were out when I was a kid, so I’d like to see how they’ve changed. Anyone notice a lack of April O’Neil in the previews? Seems like a mistake to leave out a pretty girl!

I am surprised that “The Hills Have Eyes” did not do better…

@Mark: I guess maybe the slasher-flick audience was split between that and last week’s Dead Silence. Eyes 2 might end up doing better when it comes out on DVD though.
