Pseudo gay comedy wannabe “Blades of Glory” cleaned up at the box office, taking $33 million over the weekend in its debut. The film stars Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as figure skaters who teams up to take advantage of a skating loophole. Much wackiness is had by all. Or somesuch. The Disney CGI kid’s flick “Meet the Robinsons” came in second with $25.1 million, while the Spartans defeat the Teenage Mutant Turtles after losing to them last week by taking the #3 spot with $11.2 million. Mark Wahlberg’s “Shooter” continues to tank, barely managing a measly $8 million in its second week.

Here’s the complete box office Top 10 over the weekend:

1. “Blades of Glory,” $33 million.
2. “Meet the Robinsons,” $25.1 million.
3. “300,” $11.2 million.
4. “TMNT,” $9.2 million.
5. “Wild Hogs,” $8.4 million.
6. “Shooter,” $8 million.
7. “Premonition,” $5.1 million.
8. “The Last Mimzy,” $4 million.
9. “The Hills Have Eyes 2,” $3.9 million.
10. “Reign Over Me,” $3.7 million.


“What? What’s everyone looking at?”
