The romantic drama "Letters to Juliet" took fourth place, with 9.1 million dollars, ahead of romantic comedy "Just Wright," with a duo of rapper-actors Queen Latifah and Common, at 4.2 million.
Saturday Night Live-inspired "MacGruber" opened at number six on the box office charts with 4.1 million dollars, followed by by "Date Night" with Tina Fey and Steve Carell with 2.8 million dollars.
Eighth place went to fright flick "A Nightmare on Elm Street" with 2.3 million dollars.
Trailing ninth and tenth place were "How to Train Your Dragon," which took in 1.9 million dollars, and Bollywood musical "Kites," about a dance-teacher who marries women to provide them with green cards, which opened with one million dollars.
