The B.O.: There Will Be Bloods, sorta, kinda, likka.

The movie going public preferred a pie in the face to a bullet in the guts as the parody comedy "Meet The Spartans" edged out "RAMBO" as this past weekend's box office champ.

"Meet The Spartans", this year's entry in the "topical humor and current movie parody" genre from the makers of "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie" brought in $18.5 million to rank #1.

Coming in at second with just over 300 (no pun intended) thousand less in box office is Sylvester Stallone's latest foray into the jungle, "RAMBO" bringing in $18.2 million to hit No. 2.

Coming in at No. 3 and 4 is the romantic comedy "27 Dresses" and the current net-buzz film "CLOVERFIELD" with $13.3 and $12.7 million, respectively, with the buzz for "CLOVERFIELD" dropping off (like Persians off a cliff. I can make bad references to "300" all day) a whopping 68 percent.

The only other new release making the top ten is the cyber terror film "Untraceable" bringing in $12.5 million to place it at No. 5 this week.

The bottom 5 of the top 10 this weekend was:

6) The Bucket List: $11.3 Million
7) Juno: $10.2 Million
8) National Treasure: Book Of Secrets: $4.9 Million
9) There Will Be Blood: $4.8 Million
10) Mad Money: $4.6 Million
