1. Prom Night - After nearly doubling the profits of its closest competitor with a $22.7 million weekend, I'm ready to concede to the rest of the committee: fine, maybe Slasher Horror was a better Prom Night theme than A Night Beneath the Stars.

2. Street Kings - Coming in a distant second with $12 million, apparently being king of the streets doesn't translate to being king of the box office! Or king of anything else, for that matter. Just the streets.

3. 21 - Falling to $11 million, I'll now likely never get the chance to point how funny and coincidental it is that a movie named 21 made $21 million in a weekend.

4. Nim's Island - $9 million, and I just realized they're pretending "Nim" is a legitimate name. No it isn't. Is it?

5. Leatherheads - A weak $6.2 million leads me to believe there may be a smaller cross-over group between "romantic comedy fans" and "old fashioney football fans" than originally thought.
