Ocean's Away at the Box Office
Maybe 13's not such an unlucky number after all.
Ocean's Thirteen, the latest crime caper starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, et al, debuted atop the box office with $37.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The Warner Bros. film stole the top spot from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, which dropped to second place with $21.3 million after two weeks at number one. This weekend's take brings Pirates' domestic total to a whopping $253.6 million.
Despite its box-office topping debut, the third film in the Ocean's franchise opened slightly behind its predecessors. Ocean's Eleven took in $38.1 million over its opening weekend in 2001, while Ocean's Twelve debuted with $39.2 million in 2004.
In third place, Knocked Up added another $20 million to its diaper bag to bring its domestic gross to $66.2 million, proving it was no one-night stand.
Surf's Up, Hollywood's latest entry in the aquatic bird genre, debuted at number four with $18 million--less than half of the $41.5 million its penguin predecessor Happy Feet earned in its opening weekend last fall.
Enough horror movie enthusiasts turned out for Hostel Part: II to propel the film into sixth place with $8.75, but the sequel fell far short of the original's $19.6 million debut.
In limited release, Fox Searchlight's Waitress stayed in the top 10 for the third week in a row, dropping from sixth to ninth place with $1.65 million.
