Three new movies out this weekend formed bookends on the top 10 earners as Baby Mama and Harold & Kumar took the top 2 spots while Hugh Jackman’s Deception picked up the rear at #10. Looks like America was ready for laughs with three of the top four movies being comedies and two of the top five being family friendly films. These movies should get their fill of earnings this week because next weekend Iron Man arrives (now one day earlier on Thurs) and is aiming for $100 million that weekend, seriously.

Did any of these draw out your $10 for a ticket this weekend?
