Showing he still has the box office clout to open a movie with good numbers, Will Smith helped “The Pursuit of Happyness” take the top spot for the weekend with over $26 million, knocking “Apocalypto” down to the sixth slot in the top 10. “Eragon,” the special effects extravaganza about dragon fighters made a fairly strong showing for second place with $23.3 million.
Less impressive was the debut of “Charlotte’s Web,” which was a distant third at $11.5 million. By comparison, another family-friendly movie, “Happy Feet,” has already grossed over $200 million in just five weeks of release.
