Final box office results for the weekend, delayed because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday, were released Tuesday. They showed Sony Screen Gems' Stomp the Yard leading the field with $21.8 million. (It took in $25.9 million over the four-day holiday.) The movie replaced Night at the Museum, which had held the lead over the previous three weekends. The Ben Stiller comedy, which earned $17.1 million over the weekend, has now grossed $190.5 million and is poised to become the first $200-million movie of the new year by this weekend.

Children of Men , a film that was apparently held in higher regard by critics and audiences than it was by Universal, the studio that released it, landed in third place at the box office over the weekend, as it raked in $10.2 million at just 1,209 theaters, fewer than a third of those showing the No. 1 film, Fox's Night at the Museum. Children averaged $8,435 per theater versus $6,355 for Museum. J. Hoberman, writing in the Village Voice, recently remarked that Universal had been treating the movie "like a communicable disease." Sheerly Avni, writing on the liberal blog Truthdig Monday, called it "an orphaned masterpiece," and one fan, disgusted with the official trailers for the movie, created one of his/her own and posted it on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lfs1UIKALQ), where it has drawn considerable comment and praise from fans.

The top ten films over the weekend, according to final figures compiled by Exhibitor Relations (figures in parentheses represent total gross to date): 1. Night At The Museum, 20th Century Fox, $23,743,960, 3 Wks. ($163,840,714); 2. The Pursuit of Happyness, Sony, $12,880,926, 4 Wks. ($124,039,482); 3. Children of Men, Universal, $10,197,775, 3 Wks.

Moviegoers have spent a third weekend at Ben Stiller's computer-created museum, plunking down another $24 million on tickets for Night at the Museum, according to studio estimates. "This truly is one of those movies that works for all audiences -- from age 8 to 80 and from Maine to Maui," Fox distribution exec Chris Aronson told today's (Monday) Los Angeles Times. Sony's The Pursuit of Happyness remained in second place with about $13 million. Taking over third place was Universal's sci-fi drama Children of Men which grossed $10.3 million as it expanded into wide release. Among new releases, Paramount's Freedom Writers performed the best, placing fourth with around $9.7 million. The animated Happily N'Ever After unhappily drew only $6.8 million in ticket sales, while New Line's Code Name: The Cleaner failed even to make the top-ten list as it opened with $4.6 million.

The top ten films for the weekend, according to studio estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations: 1. Night at the Museum, $24 million; 2. The Pursuit of Happyness, $13 million; 3.

In a weekend that saw no new films offered in wide release, holdovers performed solidly. Night at the Museum remained the No. 1 movie at the box office, taking in $46.7 million over the four-day New Year's holiday. Sony's The Pursuit of Happyness remained in second place with $42.7 million, which put it over the $100-million mark (to $103.4 million). But the real sensation was produced by the Paramount/DreamWorks' musical Dreamgirls, which landed in third place with a four-day take of $18.7 million. It played, however, on just 852 screens, while Museum was screened at 3,768. And while Museum produced an impressive per-screen average of $12,394, Dreamgirls came away with a sensational per-screen average of $21,948. Also significantly improving performance was We Are Marshall, which performed poorly in its opening but which saw its take rise 19 percent over the holiday weekend. The film, which describes the aftermath of the 1971 plane crash that took the lives of a West Virginia university football team, has now earned $27.3 million after two weeks.

The top ten films over the four-day holiday weekend, according to estimates compiled by Media by Numbers: 1. Night at the Museum, $46.7 million; 2. The Pursuit of Happyness, $24.7 million; 3.
