The Karate Kid starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, smashed its way to the top of the North American box office in its debut weekend, earning a Tribute Viewer Rating of 3.4 out of 5 stars and an estimated $56 million, beating out another 1980’s remake, The A-Team, which earned $26 million in second place and a Tribute Viewer Rating of 3.7 out of 5. After enjoying three weekends in the top spot, Shrek Forever After (Tribute Viewer Rating: 3.8) slipped to third place, earning an additional $16 million for a four-week total of $210 million. Get Him To The Greek (Tribute Viewer Rating: 3.8) and Killers (Tribute Viewer Rating: 2.7), which both debuted a week ago, rounded out the top five with receipts of $10 million and $8 million. At the Canadian box office, the top four movies were the same, but Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Tribute Viewer Rating: 4.5) beat out Killers for fifth place.
