Box office blog: 'Super' lame weekend

Here's the good news: This weekend, summer box office tallies passed the $4 billion mark for the first time in history. The bad news? The week's new releases hardly contributed to that at all.

The hilarious "Superbad" held strong at No. 1, bringing in $18 million in its second week of release. Threequels of vastly varying quality "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "Rush Hour 3" followed. The highest-grossing new release, "Mr. Bean's Holiday," earned only $10.1 million to place fourth, followed by "War" at No. 5 with $10 million. Earnings for "The Nanny Diaries" ($7.81 million) and "Resurrecting the Champ" ($1.8 million) ranged from pathetic to very, very pathetic.

Have you seen "Superbad" yet? Did you really cough up $10 to see "Mr. Bean's Holiday"? Who thinks Rob Zombie's "Halloween" remake looks totally terrifying?
