Dog Days Of February

The long President's Day weekend saw a family friendly flick take the top spot for the 4 day period.

According to Box Office Mojo's Brandon Gray:

'Eight Below' was the alpha dog of the weekend with an estimated $25 million, mushing past Date Movie 's solid start,($22.3 million) while 'Freedomland' was ignored... (with a paltry $6 million in ticket sales--landing in 7th place)

Here's the complete breakdown of all the action...Meanwhile, it's not surprising that Eight Below did so well, considering lots of families were able to take in a movie this weekend with time to spare. While the advanced word about how bad Freedomland is, surely kept Samuel L. Jackson fans away, who would have otherwise gone to see it.
