Mar 24 2008 'Horton' Makes a Bunch of Money This Last Weekend

1. Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! - $25.1 million, proving Dr. Seuss still has marginally better endorsement credentials than Tyler Perry.

3. Shutter - A $10.7 million weekend shows there's still a surprising number of people not yet convinced that Asia is full of young, pale ghosts. Show me one more time, Hollywood!

4. Drillbit Taylor - $10.2 million seems like a paltry number for how much phoned-in wackiness Owen Wilson surely provided. Did audiences really not want to see more half-hearted kicking?

5. 10,000 B.C. - $8.7 million--a number which, if it's anything like the movie, could vary sporadically in the interest of awesomeness.

Never. They might as well call it "The Grudge: Now With More Irrelevancy!"
