Weekend Box Office – ‘Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax’ Tops the Charts

In a distant second, ‘Project X’ bowed with $20.7 million, while last week’s champ, ‘Act of Valor,’ brought in $13.7 million for third.
Meanwhile, ‘Safe House’ had a $7.2 million haul for fourth, and ‘Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds’ completed the top five by bringing in $7 million.
