"Friday the 13th" remake dominated over the weekend. Goes to show how even over Valentine's Day weekend,a horror film can beat down and slash up and chick flick, though "He's Just Not That Into You" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic" are up in the Top Five. "Taken" takes it place near the top of the list too, showing that also over Valentine's Day weekend an action thriller can break some noses to earn the big bucks.

The other films are just surviving because people still want to see them but just weren't in the mood for the opening weekend rush. This weekend only has two new movies coming out and neither look to be big 'spectacular' films. I expect that this weekend shall pretty much have the same films in almost the same places. Maybe the bottom two here will get pushed out for the new two movies.
