Snakes are Plain-Weekend Roundup

So, Snakes On a Plane had a rather tepid opening. It was number one for the weekend but at $15.25 million, not quite what the analysts expected. Anyone see it?

Little Miss Sunshine came in 7th with $5.7 million. I will have a review of this film sometime this week.
