Fool’s Gold, the latest joint venture for Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, debuted at the top of the charts this weekend with $21 million. (When that total is worthy of a first place finish, you know times were slow.) This marks the second time the pair opened in the $20 million dollar range; 2003’s How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days started at $23.8 million.
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins was the only other new entry in this weekend’s Top Ten. The Martin Lawrence comedy grossed $16 million over the three days pushing Hannah Montana into third place. The 3-D concert, though, had the stronger per screen average ($14,987).

It’s now time for the entertainment industry to take notice: a 15-year-old girl has officially become the hottest thing thing around. Miley Cyrus already had a hit TV series (Hannah Montana) and a sold-out concert tour, but now she has a record-breaking movie as well.
The limited run of her 3-D film, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, made waves on what is usually considered a slow weekend for movies. (Audiences are usually plopped in front of the TV watching the Super Bowl.) The pic earned over $31 million, surpassing the total set by 1998’s Titanic during the same football weekend. (That weeper grossed $25.2 million.) Miley also rocked a stellar $45,560 per screen average. In comparison, this week’s #2 (The Eye), earned $40,000 less per theater. Fortunately, those unable to snag a Montana ticket now have their chance. The wildly successful film has been extended indefinitely.

Although Sylvester Stallone was hoping to end the Rambo series on an up note, it appears the actor/writer/director will just have to settle for second place. Many had expected the fourth installment would come away with the weekend’s spoils, unfortunately the aging action hero was overpowered by a group of toga-clad warriors.
It should be said though that Meet the Spartans had an extremely narrow victory. The spoof of 2007’s 300 edged out the action flick by just $300,000. But a win is still a win, right? The satire also had the best per screen average of any movie in the Top Ten ($7104).
