Good news this week at the box office

It's looking like Snakes on a Plane ekes out a slim victory over Talladega Nights (including thursday night previews), Step Up falls to #5 (could have falled more, but hey I'll take it), Little Miss Sunshine makes more money than Pirates (with more than twice the per-screen average of anything else in the top 10), and the Duff-tastic Material Girls debut at a measly #9. Sweeeet.

Also, Prada is STILL making well over a million per weekend and looks poised to top $120 mill next week.

And "Viva Pedro!" had the second-highest per screen average of anything playing anywhere! It made a grand $10,500 in only one theater.

The holder of the highest per-screen average: The Illusionist (to which I'm neutral).
