Meanwhile, other new entry Predators opened in a healthy third place with $25m (not quite earning back its $40m budget, we give it another week), while Toy Story 3 came in at fourth with $22m and a titanic total gross of $340m. The top five closed with The Last Airbender, still performing well despite negative reviews, taking $17m.
Grown Ups slipped from fourth place to sixth for its third week on release, taking $16m, while Tom Cruise vehicle Knight & Day went from fifth to seventh and just $11m more for the money pot. We bet the Mission: Impossible IV guys are feeling a little bit antsy.
Attendance at screenings of The Karate Kid and The A-Team dropped, too, the former in eighth with $5.7m and the latter in ninth with $1.8m. And Cyrus had a late surge back into the top ten with $1.3m.
