Can anyone stop the box office juggernaut that is Shia LaBeouf? His Rear Window remake Disturbia topped the box office for the second week in a row with a tally of $13.5 million, according to boxofficemojo.com, continuing its improbable run.
The courtroom thriller Fracture took in $11.2 million to lead all new releases. Blades of Glory once again led all comedies with a tally of $7.8 million, while the lightly-publicized horror flick Vacancy raked in just $7.6 million. Rounding out the top five with a $7 million take was Meet the Robinsons.
Opening in just 825 theaters, our beloved Hot Fuzz took in $5.8 million -- a whopping $7,075 per theater average. Look for Hot Fuzz to get a wider release soon.

A rundown of our reviews of this week's new releases:
Vacancy 
"In many ways, Nimrod Antal’s new horror flick is a welcome breath of fresh air for an exceedingly tired genre." [Full Review]
Fracture 
"If John Grisham wrote The Silence of the Lambs, this is what it would look like." [Full Review]
Hot Fuzz 
"A great comedy, whether you're a cop movie aficionado, a fan of Shaun of the Dead or just appreciate a good laugh." [Full Review]
In the Land of Women
"Great performances but a flawed script in this spotty romantic dramedy by director Jon Kasdan." [Full Review]
The Valet "Moves along at a quick pace with funny, surprising jokes and enough characters attempting to deceive and plot against each other that it feels like a veritable Shakespearean comedy." [Full Review]
