It was a bloodbath at the box office this weekend, with six new releases competing for eyeballs. In the end, TMNT came out on top with a gross of a little over $25 million. 300 remained strong, coming in second with $20 million. Shooter placed third with a $14.5 million take, while Wild Hogs continued its bewildering box office run, bringing in $14.3 million. (My theory: teenagers bought tickets to Wild Hogs and snuck into 300 and The Hills Have Eyes 2.) Rounding out the top five was The Last Mimzy, with a somewhat disappointing take of $10.2 million.

300's bloody box office supremacy will likely come to an end this weekend, with six major releases opening in theaters.
Everyone's favorite mutant amphibians are back -- this time in animated form -- in TMNT. (Sorry -- no Corey Feldman this time around.) Speaking of mutants, those wacky inbred freaks from The Hills Have Eyes return to wreak more havoc in The Hills Have Eyes 2. Mark Wahlberg takes aim at some very bad people in the U.S. government in the political thriller Shooter. In the sci-fi/fantasy epic The Last Mimzy, creepy kids arrive from the future to teach us all about the perils of bad parenting. Adam Sandler shelves his comedy antics in the drama Reign Over Me, about a troubled man who lost his family on 9/11. Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard plays an African-American swimming coach in the underdog sports flick Pride.
