Debut films took the top two spots for the weekend, holding off any potential ripple effects of Oscar nominations, as “Epic Movie” and “Smokin’ Aces” finished first and second, respectively. Critical response was mostly negative for “Aces” while “Epic Movie” wasn’t even screened for critics. But an early glance at the Rotten Tomatoes Web site today shows a rating of 0 percent for "Epic," if that gives you any indication as what the early word is. But I’m sure the makers of the film will gladly take their $18.6 million and laugh all the way to the bank. Of course, they may be the only ones laughing.
Meanwhile, “Night at the Museum” continues its incredibly strong run, as it nears $400 million in worldwide box office receipts.
