Horton’ Hears Ka-Ching
Compiled by LAWRENCE VAN GELDER

“Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who” held on to first place at North American box offices over the weekend, while three new releases broke into the Top Five. “Horton,” a 20th Century Fox release, grossed an estimated $25.1 million in its second week, beating “Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns” (Lionsgate). In its debut that film, a comedy and morality tale starring Angela Bassett, took in $20 million, according to the box-office tracking company Media by Numbers. Another newcomer, the horror tale “Shutter” (Fox), finished third, with $10.7 million, followed by “Drillbit Taylor” (Paramount), a comedy starring Owen Wilson, which rang up $10.2 million in its first weekend. Fifth place went to another holdover, “10,000 B.C.” (Warner Brothers), which grossed $8.6 million in its third week.
