Monday Box-Office report – The Lorax finds itself ahead of Navy Seals and rowdy teenagers

Another Monday, another tally of box office receipts, as the latest results are in for who beat who have arrived. Unsurprisingly, Dr Seuss is proving to be a name that can print money, while several other debuts arrived with impressive takes.

Let’s have a look at who made it to the top.

The Dr Seuss adventure, The Lorax, came out on top, netting $70.5 million on it’s opening weekend, while the rambunctious tale of teens attempting to throw the ultimate party, Project X, came in second with a healthy $20.5 million.

Navy Seal action flick Act of Valour found itself in third place, with an added 13.3 million added to it’s aresenal, while Safe House came in at fourth with $7.2 million.

Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds fell a few spots to fifth, hauling in another $7 million, while Journey 2: The Mysterious Island found itself flopping to sixth place, one spot ahead of The Vow, earning the two flicks $6.9 million and $6.1 million respectively.

This Means War managed to stay ahead of the flaming skull of Nicholas Cages’ Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, with the two films earning $5.6 million and $3.9 million in their eighth and ninth place positions, while a little well-deserved Oscar award magic kept The Artist in tenth place, grabbing $3.9 million in the process.
