"Real Steel" Edges "Footloose" at Box Office

The robots won over the dancers this weekend, but just barely.  Hugh Jackman and his fighting robot in “Real Steel” took the box office by storm this weekend, grossing $16.3 million and edging out “Footloose,” which grossed $16.1 million.  Not a huge weekend at the box office, but still a good showing by Craig Brewer's remake of the 80's cult classic.  "The Thing" finished a distant third.

Here’s how the rest of the weekend’s top movies did:
1. “Real Steel,” $16.3 million
2. “Footloose,” $16.1 million
3. “The Thing,” $8.7 million
4. “The Ides of March,” $7.5 million
5. “Dolphin Tale,” $6.3 million
