Dave McNary of Variety:

Without any real breakout hits, Hollywood's seeing solid rather than spectacular box office so far this year as the first quarter ends.

As of Wednesday, 2008 receipts hit $1.98 billion, or 3% above the same point last year, according to Rentrak. And a significant amount of this year's take has come from 2007 holdovers "I Am Legend," "Alvin and the Chipmunks," "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" and "Juno."

The year's about to see its first $100 million grosser as Fox's "Horton Hears a Who" -- the only pic to post back-to-back weekend wins this year -- crosses the century mark today.

But 2008 has yet to see the equivalent of "300," which launched a year ago with a stunning $70.8 million opening weekend on its way to a $210 million domestic gross. The best action performers so far in 2008 have been "Cloverfield," "10,000 BC," "Jumper" and "Vantage Point" -- none of which have topped the $80 million mark, though "10,000 BC" should do so this weekend.

And were it not for the standout $64 million perf of tween concert fave "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds," 2008 would trail last year's total.

The final weekend of the first quarter will see more of the same decent, rather than blockbuster, returns. Sony's gambling thriller "21" looks like the best bet at the weekend box office as it unspools in 2,648 theaters, winning out over the Weinstein Co. launch of "Superhero Movie" in 2,960 and the third frame of "Horton."

But the outlook seems grim for Paramount's Iraq war drama "Stop-Loss," opening at 1,291 amid expectations that moviegoers are not yet in the mood for bigscreen explorations of the painful issues raised by the five-year conflict. The outlook's also downbeat for Picturehouse's Brit romantic comedy "Run Fatboy Run" at 1,133.

Rival execs believe Sony has a winning hand with "21" and should be able to hit at least that number in millions of dollars -- probably around the mid 20s, although Sony's forecasting a take in the high teens...

Joshua Rich of EW asks:

Can the spoof flick unseat two-time champ ''Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!'' from the top spot at the box office?
