The new Samuel L. Jackson thriller, Lakeview Terrace, seized the top spot at the box office this weekend, grossing $15.6M. Dane Cook’s latest romantic comedy, My Best Friend’s Girl, opened lower than my expectations, making a slim $8.3M. Other than that, my predictions were very close this weekend. Take a look at the chart below.
