Box Office Update: Staying Social

For the second week in a row, audiences decided to reward quality over corn. The Social Network landed the top spot in a relatively weak weekend, but things are still on the rise. However, while you can pretend that things have changed, they really haven't, which is why Life as We Know It came in second with the support of a mainly female audience. Somewhat predictably, Secretariat did become this year's The Blind Side in a sense, because while critics didn't love it, it seems that audiences did. Here's hoping the box office doesn't blossom to push the horse race film to a similar fate.

10. You Again (Third Weekend; $2.5 million)
9. Case 39 (Second Weekend; $2.6 million)
8. Easy A (Fourth Weekend; $4.2 million)
7. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (Third Weekend; $4.6 million)
6. The Town (Fourth Weekend; $6.4 million)
5. My Soul to Take (First Weekend; $6.9 million)

4. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (Third Weekend; $7 million)

3. Secretariat (First Weekend; $12.6 million)
2. Life as We Know It (First Weekend; $14.6 million)

1. The Social Network (Second Weekend; $15.5 million)
