(Newser) – High School Musical 3 strutted its way to the top of the box office despite Halloween’s usual decimation of Friday ticket sales, Variety reports. Now in its second week, the teenage singalong bagged $15 million this weekend, with Zack and Miri Make a Porno opening to $10.7 million. The Halloween-friendly Saw V came in third with $10.1 million.
