The lion's share of box office dollars went to director Roland Emmerich's 10,000 B.C. [1] which earned an estimated $35 million. This same weekend last year saw the outrageous success of 300 [2], but while 10,000 B.C.'s opening comes nowhere near the debut weekend [3] of that blockbuster, it still fulfilled studio expectations, Variety reports.

Disney's College Road Trip [4] starring Raven-Simone and Martin Lawrence secured second place, despite poor reviews [5]. Vantage Point [6] and Semi-Pro [7] took the third and fourth spots, respectively. Coming in at No. 5 was the R-rated bank heist thriller The Bank Job [8], which stars Jason Statham. The Other Boleyn Girl [9] fell three spots this weekend to seventh place behind The Spiderwick Chronicles [10] which was No. 6.

The charming Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day [11] 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 [12] nominee in sight for the top 10 this week, so it looks like awards season might officially be over.
