“Museum” tops “Terminator”
The Ben Stiller-starring “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian topped the box office this weekend with an estimated $53.5 million. Terminator Salvation rang in $43 million in its opening frame, and Star Trek stayed strong at No. 3 with $22 million. “Salvation” opened very similar to its predecessor, “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” but given ticket prices six years ago, did so by selling fewer tickets.
Here are the estimates from Box Office Mojo.
