For March 9.

1. John Carter - $9.82 million - 1 day
2. The Lorax - $9.6 ($92.48) - 8 days
3. Project X - $3.99 ($32.56) - 8 days

9. This Means War - $1.22 ($44.35) - 22 days
10. Journey 2 The Mysterious Island - $.85 ($87.88) - 29 days

The Lorax will ultimately win the weekend. It's expected to get around $40 million while John Carter will more likely end up around $28 million. It will make The Lorax the highest-grossing movie thus far of 2012. And there will be weeping and wailing over John Carter, since between producton and marketing, it cost around $300 million. Disney will rrrreally need it to do well overseas.

Silent House is doing okay for what it is, but the marketing could have been better.

Eddie Murphy's A Thousand Words has been sitting on the shelf for years and was finally dumped into theaters yesterday.
