Act of Valor aimed for the heartland and won. The low-budget adventure starring real Navy SEALs doubled its production budget on opening weekend. Tyler Perry's Good Deeds delivered a predictably solid opening as well, albeit one of the weaker ones for his career. Wanderlust and Gone are both duds.

Journey 2 has benefitted from the lack of family-film competition, but that will change when The Lorax opens next week.
