The small distributor celebrated its biggest movie debut ever over the weekend as "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/450220/moviemain.jhtml"]Immortals[/url]" topped the box office with a better-than-expected $32 million. With future Superman Henry Cavill leading the cast, the 3-D epic set in ancient Greece successfully fended off the latest new releases from Adam Sandler and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Sandler's "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/481155/moviemain.jhtml"]Jack and Jill[/url]," in which the comedian plays dual roles as a twin brother and sister, was #2 with a $26 million debut. The film's opening was less than that of his "Just Go With It" from earlier this year and most Sandler comedies in general. The broad comedy had a reported $79 million production budget. The "Jack and Jill" opening weekend number was barely enough to beat last weekend's #1 movie, "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/429310/moviemain.jhtml"]Puss in Boots[/url]," which was #3 this weekend with $25.5 million for a $108.8 million total.
