Will Smith continued his run of #1 box office debuts with “The Pursuit of Happyness,” which took in $27 million, finishing ahead of the dragon tale “Eragon,” with $23.45 million and the live-action version of EB White’s children’s fable “Charlotte’s Web.” Besides “Happyness,” Smith previously won the weekend ticket take with “I, Robot,” the “Men in Black” films, and last year’s “Hitch.” Meanwhile, “Dreamgirls” opened strong in limited release, with $360,000, as did “The Good German,” the latest Steven Soderbergh – George Clooney collaboration. Mel Gibson’s “Apocalypto” took a steep dive, picking up just $6.3 million in its second weekend.

Did anyone go see it this weekend?  I’d like to see it… Instead, I took the boys to see “Charlottes Web” which was totally cute.  Except Charlotte freaked me out – she looked so real.  And I hate me some spiders.
