"Meet
the Spartans" -- written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron
Seltzer, who also helped write the first "Scary Movie" -- poked fun not
only at last year's Spartan battle saga "300" but also at "Spider-Man,"
"You Got Served" and pop-culture phenomena such as paparazzi.

Fox's
romantic comedy "27 Dresses," starring Katherine Heigl, held up firmly
in its second weekend to place third with an estimated $13.6 million,
down 41% from its debut. Last weekend's box-office champ, Paramount
Pictures' monster movie "Cloverfield," plunged 68% from its
record-setting holiday weekend to finish fourth with $12.7 million.
