Friday Box Office: Good Night
Score one for the traditionalists? If Date Night (a better than expected $9.5 million on Friday) can hold off Clash of the Titans ($7.8 million) for the remainder of the weekend it will become only the fourth non-3D film released this year to lead the box office. And they said two dimensions were dead. Elsewhere: don't look now, but the assumed disappointment that was How to Train Your Dragon experienced a scant 19% drop from Friday-to-Friday and has slowly become one of the biggest hits in 2010. Dreamworks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg is writing that "Suck it, Pixar!" e-mail right about now. The top-five after the jump.
DATE NIGHT: $9,500,000 (new)
CLASH OF THE TITANS: $7,800,000 ($109,000,000)
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: $6,700,000 ($134,000,000)
THE LAST SONG: $3,800,000 ($44,000,000)
WHY DID I GET MARRIED TOO?: $3,500,000 ($49,000,000)

Tyler Perry's gonna be FURIOUS when he sees that you left his name out of the title of his movie.
Fey's face is curiously turned to the left in all the publicity shots I've seen so far. Are they so worried about her minimal scar affecting the movie?
