LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ben Stiller beat Christian Bale in the North American weekend box office duel between their respective "Night at the Museum" and "Terminator" sequels, according to studio estimates issued on Sunday. The 20th Century Fox comedy "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" sold $53.5 million worth of tickets during the three days beginning Friday, far exceeding the $30.4 million debut of its 2006 predecessor. "Terminator Salvation" earned $43.0 million. The film fell short of the $44 million start for the previous entry in the cyborg series, 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," the swan song of franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger. movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reuters.com/quotmuseumquot-comedy-beats-quotterminatorquot-box-office-reuters

We saw "Night at the Museum 2" yesterday. I didn't like it as well as the first one, but the special effects were great. The critics weren't kind to it in their reviews, but it didn't matter to the public, because they are ready for some light-hearted comedy. I was surprised to hear that Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian was written by the guy in tight shorts, who's a cop on Reno 911.
