Horton Hears a Who (Fox) continued its box office roll Saturday, adding another $9.45M, but it was down 10% from its monstrous Good Friday. The CGI animated Dr. Suess adaptation should grab another $6.61M or so on Easter Sunday for a 3-day of $26.56M, giving Horton the all-time 4th-best Easter weekend box office performance.
ALL-TIME BEST EASTER WEEKEND BOX OFFICE PERFORMERS
1.Scary Movie - $40.2M
2. Panic Room - $30M
3. The Matrix - $27.7M
4. Horton Hears a Who - $26.56M (estimate)

7. Blades of Glory - $22.5M
8. Guess Who - $20.6M
9. Ice Age: The Meltdown - $20M
10. U-571 - $19.5M
My revised weekend projection of $26.56M is off slightly from the $28.15M I forecast Friday night, but Horton Hears a Who will have banked $87.93M by Monday morning, giving it the all-time 3rd-best 10-day gross for a movie opening in March.

Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns was down 11% from its opening day for $7.29M, and the 5th feature film from the African American auteur will likely give him another $20M+ opening weekend. I'm anticipating $4.59M on Easter Sunday for Browns, completing a $20.09M opening weekend, which is solid, but #4 on his box office resume.
ALL-TIME TYLER PERRY OPENINGS
1. Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion - $30M opening
2. Diary of a Mad Black Woman - $21.9M opening
3. Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married - $21.3M opening
4. Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns - $20.1M opening (estimate)
5. Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls - $11.2M opening
New releases Drillbit Taylor (Paramount) and Shutter (Fox) are in a dead heat for Saturday, but it looks as though the low budget horror flick will win the weekend. I expect Shutter to finish #3 with $10.63M, while the poorly-reviewed Owen Wilson vehicle written by Seth Rogen will manage only $10.12M. 10,000 B.C. (Warner Bros) will be 5th for the weekend with $8.84M, pushing Roland Emmerich's prehistoric epic past $76M domestic.
Under the Same Moon (Weinstein), the Audience Award winner at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, continues to perform very well at its 266 locations with $935,000 on Saturday. The film, which features Ugly Betty's America Ferrera in a small role, will finish the weekend with about $2.34M, which should be good enough for the top 10.
Here is how I think the 3-Day PTA scoreboard will look.
