The most hyped move of year, “Grindhouse”, opened with a disappointing 4th place finish.  The Tarantino/Rodriguez three and a half hour double feature took in well below the low end estimates with only $11.6 million in sales.  This just goes to show you that if you plan on making a three hour movie make sure it has a big ship that sinks, sex in a car, and Leo freezing to death while Kate sits on a door big enough to hold thirty people.  Keeping its place atop the box office was the Will Ferrell and Joh Heder skating comedy “Blades of Glory”.

 1. “Blades of Glory,” $23 million.
2. “Meet the Robinsons,” $17 million.
3. “Are We Done Yet?,” $15 million.
4. “Grindhouse,” $11.6 million.
5. “The Reaping,” $10.1 million.
6. “300,” $8.8 million.
7. “Wild Hogs,” $6.8 million.
8. “Shooter,” $5.8 million.
9. “TMNT,” $4.9 million.
10. “Firehouse Dog,” $4 million.
