It’s our weekly box office results update, coming up next.

Hey movie watchers! I’m Dana Ward with Get-the-Daily-dot-com. Straight from the theatres near you, we’ve the weekend’s box office results.

Barely hanging on at number 5 is Nim’s Island. The adventures of a kid, her pops and an interesting writer stranded on a mysterious island are documented like a children’s storybook in this one. The film barely survived its third week out with 5-point-6-million.

Number 4 goes to a newbie criminal drama called 88 Minutes. It’s pretty straight-forward with an FBI forensics psychologist receiving a legit death threat and exactly 88 minutes to discover the identity of the psycho-killer before it’s too late. Perhaps it’s one of many ladies he’s womanized, a problematic student or a serial killer he put on death row. The thriller checked in at 6-point-8-million.

And dropping from the hot spot last weekend, it’s Prom Night bringing in just under 10-mllion at number 3. The pretty prom princess is forced to deal with some serious high-school drama… it’s a little more than normal, when a crazed-killer from her past escapes his psycho-ward to crash the prom party. This weekend’s revenue was slashed back to 9-point-1-million.

The next funny flick debuted at numero-2. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a laugh-out-loud-comedy from some of the peeps bringing us Blades of Glory and Knocked Up. It follows a heartbroken dude who just got dumped by his hot TV-star girlfriend. He takes a vacation to get away, only to realize he’s booked a trip to the same exact resort as his ex and her new man. It grossed out at over 17-million-dollars.

And karate-chopping its way to number one, it’s The Forbidden Kingdom. In this action-fantasy, an American teen makes an amazing discovery in a Chinatown pawnshop that sends him back in time. Featuring hot-shot martial artists such as Jet Li and Jackie Chan, you can’t help but be mesmerized by the amazing choreographed fight scenes in a freedom quest through historical China. This one championed the weekend with almost 21-million-dollars.
