Will Ferrell's Blades Reaps Box-office Glory
With a $33 million haul, Blades of Glory topped the weekend box office, which was down 13 percent versus a year ago but is still up four percent for the year to date. Rounding out the top five were Meet the Robinsons (opening with $25.1 million), 300 ($11.2 mil), last week's champ TMNT ($9.2 mil) and the unsinkable Wild Hogs ($8.4 mil).
Blades of Glory represents the second-best opening of Will Ferrell's big-screen career, behind Ricky Bobby ($47 mil).

BTW, the guys behind the GEICO "caveman" commercials, Will Speck and Josh Gordon, directed Blades of Glory.

Blades was awesome, although the supporting cast stole the show most of the movie.

Agreed, JenJen! I heart Will Arnett and Amy Poehler. Everytime they were onscreen I laughed hysterically.

Unless I have narcolepsy and don't know it is that supposed to be "versus a week ago"?

This weekend's total (for the top 12) was down 13 percent from the same weekend a year ago.
