Weekend Receipts: The Lorax Sends a Very, Very Green Message

What a weekend for Dr. Seuss's The Lorax: The environmentally tinged adaptation became the latest of the beloved author's film spinoffs to capture the top box-office perch. Meanwhile, the raunchy Project X settled in quietly behind it, earning roughly a dollar per topless scene en route to second place. Your Weekend Receipts are here. 1. Dr. Seuss's The Lorax Gross: $70,700,000 (new) Screens: 3,729 (PSA $18,960) Weeks: 1 What can I say? A generation is indoctrinated to the left! Lou Dobbs will be outraged! Malia Obama for president in 2036! 2. Project X Gross: $20,775,000 (new) Screens: 3,055 (PSA $6,800) Weeks: 1 Not so bad an opening for the critically reviled bit of mayhem from the mind of Todd Phillips - but good enough for a sequel? Project Y, coming to DVD and Blu-ray by the holidays? Hell, the way these things are shot, maybe by Memorial Day. 3. Act of Valor Gross: $13,700,000 ($45,239,000) Screens: 3,053 (PSA: $4,487) Weeks: 2 (Change: -44%) The Navy SEALs-against-the-world propaganda exercise held up reasonably well in its second week, setting up next weekend's crucial Lorax vs. Valor ideology face-off for fourth place - or maybe even third place, considering the smallish release for Eddie Murphy's A Thousand Words. Place your bets. Or I can just wake you when it's April, your call. 4. Safe House Gross: $7,200,000 ($108,200,000) Screens: 2,533 (PSA $2,820) Weeks: 4 (Change: -34.1%) I can only imagine the back-and-forth between Denzel Washington's WME team and Ryan Reynolds's CAA crew this morning as they struggle to take primary credit for their stars' stunning collaborative success. If I didn't know any better, I'd just attribute the whole phenomenon to Harvey Weinstein, because what triumphs hasn't he wrought in the last seven days? 5. Tyler Perry's Good Deeds Gross: $7,000,000 ($25,745,000) Screens: 2,132 (PSA $3,283) Weeks: 2 (Change: -55.1%) Tyler Perry is nothing if not consistent, on track for another mid-$30 million performer sans the Madea muumuu. He'd argue that a wider release would sweeten the box office, and for this one in particular I'd agree - though I'd rather simply see him split the franchise difference and attempt Why Did I Get Married 3-D. They've got The Rock in the series now! Seriously, blockbuster city. [Figures via Box Office Mojo] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
