Despite earning the top spot at the box office, the predictable laughs [1] in Will Ferrell's Semi-Pro [2] only earned $15.3 million over the weekend. This is considered a disappointing sum, especially compared to opening weekends of other Ferrell films like Talladega Nights [3] and Blades of Glory [4]. Variety reports that this underwhelming performance [5] by the basketball comedy may have been due to mediocre reviews and an R-rating.

Vantage Point [6] was only bumped down one spot to No. 2 over the weekend followed by The Spiderwick Chronicles [7] at No. 3. The adaptation of Buzz Book Club [8]'s February selection The Other Boleyn Girl [9] took the fourth spot earning an estimated $8.3 million. Penelope [10] starring Reese Witherspoon and Christina Ricci also opened this weekend coming in at No. 8 behind Jumper [11], Step Up 2 The Streets, and Fool's Gold [12].

Filling out the top ten were Oscar-nominated [13] films No Country for Old Men [14] and Juno [15].
