Bucket Tops Box Office List

Posted Jan 13, 08 3:33 PM CST in Arts & Living 

(Newser) – The Bucket List kicked National Treasure: Book of Secrets from top spot this weekend in the best-ever debut for a Rob Reiner flick, Variety reports. First Sunday nabbed a close second and Juno kept crowds giggling in third. Tonight's toned-down Golden Globes will not help Juno as expected, but the quirky laffer has almost passed Sideways as Fox Searchlight's best-grossing film.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets lost luster in fourth but has banked $187.3 million so far, Bloomberg reports. Alvin and the Chipmunks toned down to fifth, as I Am Legend fell to sixth. Rounding out the top 10 were One Missed Call, P.S. I Love You, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, and Atonement.
