Revenge Of The Nerds

In a reel nail biter Facebook movie The Social Network takes the top spot from rom-com Life As We Know It by inches (in movie $$ anyway)....

Secretariat pays out a decent return But horror pic My Soul To Take doesn't have my takers...despite genre icon Wes Craven at the helm.

The Facebook drama "The Social Network" continues to add more friends at the box office as the Sony picture took in another $15.9, according to Rentrak, to top the weekend for a second straight week.


Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel's romantic comedy "Life as We Know It" debuted with a $14.6-million weekend to take the No. 2 spot.


Coming in third place, Disney's horse-racing drama "Secretariat" made a comfortable debut with $12.6 million.


"Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" added another $7 million to its nest egg to take the fourth spot.


Rounding out the top five with a relatively soft debut and $7 million was Wes Craven's "My Soul to Take."
