The other new release, the boringly titled animal flick Furry Vengeance, was passed over by kids and families who either hadn't yet seen or wanted to re-watch How to Train Your Dragon. Dragon managed to snag a distant second place with $10 million in its sixth week, and Date Night and The Back-Up Plan were neck-and-neck for third with about $7.5 million each, leaving Furry in fifth place with $6.5 million, which is Losers territory.

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street $32.2 million
2. How to Train Your Dragon $10.8 million ($192.4 million in 6 weeks)
