Weekend Box Office: 02/29/08 – 03/02/08

The end of February and March merge together in this leap year to bring you three new films debuting in the Top Ten. Will Ferrell delivers again with another sports comedy (?) that opened strong, but not nearly as strong as some had hoped. The President’s assassination is still under review in Vantage Point. And Juno and No Country For Old Men are proving that you don’t have to be out just one or two or even three weeks to keep pulling in the dough. Full numbers inside.
