No surprises here with this weekend’s release of new movies. Ocean’s Thirteen (preview) easily took the top spot in the box office earnings by nearly doubling the second place earner, Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Knocked Up (review) held a pretty good percentage of its earnings to get the #3 spot and beat out the other new comer, Surf’s Up (preview). I was surprised that Surf’s Up, $18M, didn’t place higher considering its appeal to a wider audience, including children. The third new release, Hostel Part II, wasn’t able to break the $10 million mark, but did earn the #6 spot just over Mr. Brooks (review). Also of interest, I can’t remember the last time I saw a Top 10 box office earner pull in less than $1M, but there sits Disturbia at #10 with $0.5M.
