The lion's share of box office dollars went to director Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C. which earned an estimated $35 million. This same weekend last year saw the outrageous success of 300, but while 10,000 B.C.'s opening comes nowhere near the debut weekend of that blockbuster, it still fulfilled studio expectations, Variety reports.
Disney's College Road Trip starring Raven-Simone and Martin Lawrence secured second place, despite poor reviews. Vantage Point and Semi-Pro took the third and fourth spots, respectively. Coming in at No. 5 was the R-rated bank heist thriller The Bank Job, which stars Jason Statham. The Other Boleyn Girl fell three spots this weekend to seventh place behind The Spiderwick Chronicles which was No. 6.
The charming Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day failed to crack the top ten (rounded out by Jumper, Step Up 2 the Street, and Fool's Gold) as it was only playing in limited release. Not an Oscar nominee in sight for the top 10 this week, so it looks like awards season might officially be over.

I was hoping Miss Pettigrew would do better; still looking forward to seeing it.
1i saw this yesterday, oddly entertaining in an almost campy way. cool special effects, sometimes laughable dialouge.
2i really wanted to see Miss Pettigrew this weekend but it is opened in limited theaters and isn't here in Boise. I was totally bummed.
3This movie was SO BAD! Please don't waste your money seeing it.
4This movie is terrible!! I wanted to get up and walk out less than 45 minutes into it. Horrible plot, bad characters, just bad.
5I actually liked this movie. It was a bit predictable, but I loved it nonetheless. Similar to 300, but not as scary. Effects were cool too. Don't go see it if you didn't like 300 or The Time Machine.
