'Fool's Gold' a real treasure

Warner Brothers struck 24 carat gold with Fool's Gold, which debuted at No. 1 in U.S. theaters this weekend, Box Office Mojo reported.

The romantic comedy starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughney pulled in an estimated $22.01 million in its first weekend. It was followed at No. 2 by another new movie, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, a comedy featuring the brash Martin Lawrence and the regal James Earl Jones that recorded $17.13 million in estimated ticket sales.

Last week's top movie, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, came in at No. 3 with $10.51 million. The Eye was fourth with $6.64 million, while Juno continued to show its stamina by climbing back to No. 5 from sixth in its 10th week.

Rounding out the Top 10 were 27 Dresses, $5.7 million; The Bucket List, $5.34 million; Rambo, $4.11 million; Meet the Spartans, $4.08 million; and There Will Be Blood, $4.07 million.

Falling out of the upper echelon of films were Untraceable and Cloverfield.
