Box office blog: 'Horton' hears a victory

 

The nearly $36 million debut for "10,000 BC" doesn't look so mammoth anymore. "Horton Hears a Who!" took in $45.1 million over the weekend to top the box office and reign as the biggest opening so far this year. ("Cloverfield was the previous champ, opening with $40.1 million.) It's not surprising that audiences showed up for the just-OK Dr. Seuss adaptation, but its competition wasn't exactly fierce. "10,000" fell to second with $16.4 million, the surprisingly solid martial arts flick "Never Back Down" debuted at No. 3 with only $8.61 million and "Doomsday" landed at seventh with just $4.7 million. Did voice work by Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Seth Rogen draw you to "Horton," or does it still seem like kids' stuff? Did you check out "Never Back Down" or just stay home and watch "Fight Club"?
