It was a close call at the box office this weekend as Meet the Spartans took in $18.7 million for the top spot. This spoof of Hollywood blockbusters only made a fraction more than Sylvester Stallone's highly anticipated sequel Rambo, which took in $18.1 million for the second place spot.
This week's only other major release was the Diane Lane thriller Untraceable. It took in a less than stellar $11.2 million, placing it at number five on the weekend chart. The Paramount dance film How She Move landed in the number twelve spot with $4.1 million playing on just 1,531 screens. The much-hyped Cloverfield dropped all the way down to the number four spot with just $12.7 million.
A couple of smaller movies hit hard this weekend. The Imax feature U2 3D pulled in $946,000 on sixty-one screens across the country. The Air I Breathe managed to collect a nice $21,500 playing on just seven screens. Sadly, the Canadian import Trailer Park Boys: The Movie didn't even make enough money to register on the charts at all.
Next week will see only one major new release into theaters. Lionsgate's The Eye will be going against its studio companion Rambo in a toe-to-toe battle while Meet the Spartans struggles to keep that second week audience.
Meet the Spartans was released January 25th, 2008 and stars Sean Maguire, Carmen Electra, Ken Davitian, Kevin Sorbo, Diedrich Bader, Method Man, Jareb Dauplaise, Travis Van Winkle. The film is directed by Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer.
Rambo was released January 25th, 2008 and stars Sylvester Stallone, Julie Benz, Matthew Marsden, Graham McTavish, Reynaldo Gallegos, Jake La Botz, Tim Kang, Maung Maung Khin. The film is directed by Sylvester Stallone.

I can't believe that many prople actually spent the time and money to go see "Meet the Spartans". What the hell is wrong with these people?

Who in the hell went to see "Meet the Spartans" anyways??? This film was nothing but "OVER-USED" parodies of films already out there!! I guess never underestimate the power of the teenager!!!!
Ultimately I blame the audiences, because if nobody bought a ticket to this junk, Fox would tell Aaron Seltzer (Director/Writer) and Jason Friedberg (Writer/Director) to hit the freakin' road already.
I saw both "Rambo" & "Untraceable", & I still can't believe that "Rambo" wasn't #1, with all the Stallone fans out there!!
As for " Trailer Park Boys: The Movie" "Space101" that films is in "LIMITED" release which means it's only in New York and LA & not playing any other cities!
I wish "The Air I Breathe" actually opened in Phoenix, AZ I really do want to see this film, but just like Guy Ritchie's "Revolver" &/Or "Teeth" I will have to wait for DVD rental since the Phoenix film market sucks big time!!
I knew "Cloverfield" would fall since the hype wore off!
