Dr. Seuss’ Horton heard cha-ching at the box office again this weekend despite a 45% drop in sales, Variety reports. The family flick grossed $25.1 million, beating number-two Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns and photographic horror remake Shutter, which grossed $20 million and $10.7 million, respectively, the AP reports.

Owen Wilson laffer Drillbit Taylor banked $10.2 million in fourth spot, beating 10,000 BC's $8.7 million in fifth. Rounding out the top ten were Never Back Down with $4.9 million, College Road Trip with $4.6 million, The Bank Job with $4.1 million, and Vantage Point with $3.8 million; in tenth, Under the Same Moon nabbed the record for top US Spanish-language opener with $2.6 million.
