The spoof comedy "Meet the Spartans" took in around $19 million and the first place this weekend, having a virtually identical opening weekend with last year's spoof "Epic Movie."
Sylvester Stallone drew a mix of older and younger fans to the return of his '80s action hero, "Rambo." The film took $18.2 million from 2,751 locations, taking second place and outperforming Stallone's "Rocky Balboa," which grossed $12.2 million during its first weekend.
Other openers were "Untraceable," which grossed $11 million at 2,368 locations, and the dancing drama "How She Move," which managed only $4.2 million at 1,531 theaters.
Last weekend's top opener "Cloverfield," tumbled 68% in its second week, grossing $12.7 million and landing at number four. The film has now earned a total of $64.3 million on a $25 million budget.
Several Oscar favorites got a big bounce the weekend after nominations were announced. "Juno" lost 108 screens but went up 3% at the box office, grossing $10.3 million and inching its way over the $100 million mark. Quirky comedy was number six for the weekend.
Other best picture nominee to break the top 10 was "There Will Be Blood," which more than doubled its release to 885 theaters and grossed $4.9 million, landing it at number 8 for the weekend. The film's total is now $14.8 million.
