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
