Box Office Report: March 30-April 1

As expected, “Blades of Glory,” starring Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as rival figure skaters who decide to team up as the first male professional pairs skating team, took the top spot at the box office over the weekend, bringing in $33 million. It marks Ferrell’s second biggest opening, only trailing “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.” (Look for a review of it later in the week.)

Last week’s champ, “TMNT,” took a large plunge into fourth place, and is expected to be the lowest grossing of all the movies featuring the crime fighting turtles. This past weekend concludes the first quarter of the year (already?!), meaning the worldwide box office chart will return next week for the first time since last December.
