HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — It took a tear-jerker to finally knock off James Cameron's sci-fi mania at the box office.
Dear John, a love story starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried, debuted as the No. 1 movie over the weekend with $32.4 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates released Sunday. The strong opening knocked Avatar from the top spot, a position Cameron's epic had held for seven straight weeks.
Dear John's total was also a record opening for Super Bowl weekend, topping the $31.1 million debut for 2008's Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert.
