According to www.boxofficemojo.com, the winners at this weekend's box office (with my comments added) are:
Rank. Movie Title (Distributor)
Weekend Gross | Theaters | Total Gross | Week #
1. The Pursuit of Happyness (Sony / Columbia) -- a tribute to Will Smith and his vast audience appeal than to the film itself
$27.0 million | 2,852 | $27.0 million | 1
2. Eragon (Fox) -- popular teen book, big opening, fast fade.
$23.5 million | 3,020 | $23.5 million | 1
3. Charlotte's Web (Paramount) -- big disappointment for a wonderful family film. I guess not everyone listens to me, after all.
$12.0 million | 3,566 | $12.0 million | 1
4. Happy Feet (Warner Bros.) -- good legs for a decent film.
$8.5 million | 3,335 | $149.4 million | 5
5. The Holiday (Sony / Columbia) -- proving yet again that chick flicks rule, at least compared to far-more-deserving fare like Apocolypto, which finished 6th at $7.7 million.
$8.2 million | 2,614 | $25.3 million | 2
