Jet Li & Jackie Chan from The
Forbidden Kingdom
(Weinstein Co.)
(April 20) It was years in the making and we all knew it would happen and it did. Martial arts
movie moneymakers Jackie Chan and Jet Li dominated the camera together in high-intensity,
action-packed film,
The Forbidden Kingdom.

And they kicked butt in more ways than one!

The must-see film of the weekend brought in $20.9M in its opening weekend.

Coming at #2 was the comical debut of
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, bringing in $17.3M. Last
weekend's box office topper,
Prom Night drops to #3. Despite the not-so favorable reviews on
message boards, the film manages to still make $9.1M, grossing $32.6M.

Our favorite druglord (on film, of course), Al Pacino stars in
88 Minutes, a thriller of sorts
comes in at #4 with $6.8M. Rounding out the top 5 was fantasy film,
Nim's Island, bringing in
$5.65M, grossing $32.9M.

At #6, Laurence Fishburne movie of wheelin and dealin,
21 brought in $5.5M for a total of
$70M. Last weekend's #2 film,
Street Kings dropped to #7 with $4M, grossing $19.9M.

Child-safe
Horton Hears A Who! has remained in the top ten since its mid-March debut. This
weekend, it landed at #8 with $3.5M for a grand total of $144M, the highest of any film in the
top 10.

Newcomer
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed debuted at #9 with $3.15M and football flick,
Leatherheads finished out the top 10 with $3.02M, grossing $26.6M.
