Dan Berk and Robert Olsen's action comedy Novocaine starring Jack Quaid can take some pride that it has earned the superlative "#1 Movie In The United States and Canada," but you'll note looking at the Top 10 that things are going a big slow on the theatrical front these days. Scope out the numbers in the chart below and join me after for analysis.

The number one movie in America this weekend was 'Novocaine,' which reached it with just $8.7 million, but other films have hit No. 1 with less.

To say theater owners are counting the days until Disney's 'Snow White' opens wide is an understatement after a miserable few weekends at the box office.
