Thor held on to the top spot at the box office this weekend, earning an estimated $34.5 million dollars. The new genre entry for the week was Priest, which performed slightly better than industry expectations with $14.5 million dollars. The lack of a new major summer release and 3D ticket sales is likely the explanation.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is the big release for next weekend and opens on Friday, May 20th. If you're planning on seeing this movie, keep an eye out for Derek Mears, who is playing a zombie in the film. Here are the top ten weekend estimates:
1 Thor - $34,500,000
2 Bridesmaids - $24,409,000
3 Fast Five - $19,534,000
4 Priest - $14,500,000
5 Rio - $8,000,000
6 Jumping the Broom - $7,300,000
7 Something Borrowed - $7,000,000
8 Water for Elephants - $4,100,000
9 Madea's Big Happy Family - $2,200,000
10 Soul Surfer - $1,800,000
