Box Office Report: March 23-25

It was a very crowded field this past weekend, with six new movies making their debut on the charts. But with the possible exception of two (“TMNT” and “Shooter”), their stays look to be brief. “TMNT,” better known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was able to knock off two-week champ, “300” by earning around $24 million. However, “300” still finished a strong second, and is approaching $250 million in worldwide receipts.

Look for “Blades of Glory,” the new Will Ferrell/Jon Heder comedy to make a strong push for the top spot next weekend.
