“Ocean’s Thirteen” was the No. 1 movie in the country over the weekend. The heist sequel, starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon, earned $37.1 million in its debut, knocking “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” to second place. “Ocean’s Thirteen”‘s opening is on par with the first two films in the franchise.
“Pirates,” which held the top spot for the last two weekends, earned $21.3 million, raising its total to $254 million.
“Knocked Up” continued to perform strongly. The comedy dropped from second to third with $20 million. Its 10-day total stands at $66.2 million.
The weekend’s other new releases, “Surf’s Up” and “Hostel: Part II,” had moderate success. The animated penguin flick “Surf’s Up” opened with $18 million, landing in fourth place, and the horror sequel “Hostel: Part II” made $8.8 million, good for sixth.

i think that ocean’s 13 was a bad movie….. it was a little too boring
I’ll wait for the DVD.
It’s always kind of ridiculous how many sequels there are but this is one I’m actually kinda wanting to see even if it does suck.
In a world where sequels are never as good as the originals, the Ocean’s series holds up. The third was just as good as the previous two.
