"Shark Tale" reeled in an average of $12,000 for each of its 4,016 screens, according to Exhibitor Relations Inc. Although "Ladder 49," the other major studio film opening over the weekend, didn't earn half as much, it still had money to burn, taking in a surprising $22.8 million.

Last week's No. 1 film "The Forgotten," slipped 42.9 percent to third place with $12 million.
