Jackass is king in the box office

Action comedy Red had a good showing with $22.5 million, but it was Jackass that dominated the box office with an impressive $50 million weekend. It's nearly double that of Jackass 2, and quite an impressive start for a movie with a budget of $20 million. Also, the Social Network continues strong in third, showing a mere 29% drop in numbers, which is way below average for a films third week.

Overall, it looks like there were quite a few people in the theaters over the weekend. So, what did you see?
