"Monsters"; "Haunting" packs the theaters this weekend

(Production still courtesy DreamWorks)

After a very slow weekend last weekend at theaters nationwide, theatergoers returned in force to see "Monsters Vs. Aliens" and "The Haunting In Connecticut". Latest box office estimates show "Monsters" taking #1 this weekend with just a little over $58 million and "Haunting" taking the #2 spot with an estimated $23 million.

The other new release for this weekend "12 Rounds" made a disappointing debut, taking just over $5 million, being beat out by last week's releases - "Knowing" at #3 making just under $16 million, "I Love You Man", bringing in just over $12.5 million, and "Duplicity" which made around $7.5 million this weekend. Also beating out "12 Rounds" was the Dwayne (I keep telling you guys...don't call me "The Rock" anymore!) Johnson vehicle "Race To Witch Mountain" bringing in a little over $5.5 million in its third weekend in theaters.

This weekend's Top Ten at the box office (Sunday estimates):

1. Monsters Vs. Aliens
2. The Haunting in Connecticut
3. Knowing
4. I Love You, Man
5. Duplicity
6. Race to Witch Mountain
7. 12 Rounds
8. Watchmen
9. Taken
10. The Last House on the Left

My score this weekend...8 out of 10 for that magical 80%...again. Maybe next weekend I'l get the perfect score!
