Weekend Boxoffice Charts

Posted by on May 26, 2009 in Movies

Ben Stiller’s Night at the Museum sequel charged past the franchise relaunch of Terminator in a battle for North American box office supremacy.

Here is what they have for the weekend of May 22nd to May 25th.

  1. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian $70.0/$70.0
  2. Terminator Salvation $53.8/$67.1
  3. Star Trek $29.4/$191.0
  4. Angels & Demons $27.7/$87.8
  5. Dance Flick $13.1/$13.1
  6. X-Men Origins: Wolverine $10.1/$165.3
  7. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past $4.8/$46.9
  8. Obsessed $2.5/$66.4
  9. Monsters vs. Aliens $1.9/$193.5
  10. 17 Again $1.2/$60.5
  11. The Soloist $1.0/$29.4
  12. Next Day Air $.7/$9.0

I’m not surprised that Night at the Museum did better. The first one was super popular with kids, and I enjoyed it myself. You’re going to get a lot more families going to that than to Terminator.

“Star Trek” could have cut into “T4′s” action. “Star Trek” placed No. 3 for the weekend, declining only 49% to an estimated $29.4 million for a cume of $191 million in its third sesh.
