Weekend Box Office -- Smooth Landing For "United 93"

"M:I:3" is just around the corner to launch the summer movie season. But one week before the hoopla begins, moviegoers prove it's never too soon for a well-made, well-reviewed film -- even one about a national tragedy. "United 93" opened at #2. But it's never too late for Robin Williams to apologize for "RV," which opened at a weak number one and should fade fast. And shame on me for not catching the teen gymanstics comedy "Stick It." That movie was made for me.

1. RV -- $16.4 million
2. United 93 -- $11.6 million
3. Stick It -- $11.3 million
4. Silent Hill -- $9.3 mil ($34.2 million total)
5. Scary Movie 4 -- $7.8 ($78.2 million)
6. The Sentinel -- $7.6 mil ($25.5 million)
7. Ice Age: The Meltdown -- $7.1 ($177.7 million)
8. Akeelah and the Bee -- $6.3 million
9. The Wild -- $4.7 mil ($28.4 million)
10. The Benchwarmers -- $4.4 mil ($52.8 million)
