"New Moon" And "Planet 51" Did Moderately Well At The Box Office This Weekend

Chalk this up to a decent weekend for API's in the spotlight with two movies that did fairly well at the box office - and by fairly well I mean huge box office receipts for that little thing called The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which earned close to $260 million worldwide.

Planet 51, led by the voice of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson didn't do too bad either taking in a cool $12.6 million and landing in fourth place.

And that movie 2012 with Thandie Newton still kept on chugging along taking in another $26.5 million staying in the top 3.

Overall I'd say not a bad weekend for some spotlight coverage.
