“Scary Movie”-style comedy “Meet the Spartans” beat out the return of Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo character, laughing up $18.7 million at the box office this weekend, the movie’s debut. Rambo, meanwhile, wasn’t far behind, coming up with over $18.1 million to take second place at the box office. That’s not a spectacular debut, but it’s not exactly billet grilles, either.
27 Dresses held up better than expected to nab third while Cloverfield fell sharply after its record-setting debut last weekend; business was off nearly 70 percent. Coming in fifth was Untraceable, the high-tech thriller, which made only $11.2 million in its opening nod.
Teen pregnancy comedy Juno was bumped from the top five, but took sixth place, having topped $100 million in the last eight weeks of release.
