Coming in a distant second was Eagle Eye, which added $17.7 million in its second weekend for a two-week total of $54.6 million. In third was the movie I thought might surprise everyone and win the weekend -- at least among new releases -- Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. It managed a pretty paltry $12 million in its opening weekend, despite the adorableness that is Michael Cera.

The next new release to crack the top 10 was the right-wing spoof An American Carol, which also makes me die inside a little. The box office was politically balanced, though, because No. 10 was Religulous, Bill Maher's indictment of organized religion. It made more than $7,000 per screen, bringing in $3.5 million on 502 screens.

The other two new releases opening on more than 1,000 screens came in 11th and 12th, respectively: Flash of Genius made $2.3 million, while Blindness brought in $2 million.
