A beautifully depicted dog world is the perfect recipe for a smash hit. A superbly described talking-dog world can take success-related issues even further. Disney knew exactly what this movie season lacked, a film about purse puppies, and here it is! With $29 million in ticket sales during the weekend, Disney’s "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" gained the first place in the box office, knocking off “Eagle Eye”

The movie directed by the helmer of the lovable “Scooby-Doo,” Raja Gosnell, portrays an old-fashioned subject in an ultra-modern way. Chloe is the little treasure of ultra-rich cosmetics entrepreneur Viv, played by the one and only Jamie Lee Curtis. Thus, Chloe, a Chihuahua born with a silver spoon in her mouth, cannot possibly go out there wearing nothing but fur. She would be taken for an ordinary dog, and she is at least a little princess if not a natural born queen. In order to avoid getting her delicate paws dirty, Chloe wears designer booties, and, in addition to this, a beautiful diamond collar.

Lady Chloe, voiced by Drew Barrymore, is abducted by some evil dog fighters and, with the help of an “ordinary” dog, Delgado, a German Shepherd (voiced by an incredible Andy Garcia), who becomes her protector over night, Chloe tries to find her way home.

The last weekend champion, Shia LaBeouf’s “Eagle Eye” managed to raise only $17,700,000 and landed on the second spot.

In “Eagle Eye” Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations--using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move. As the situation escalates, these two ordinary people become the country's most wanted fugitives, who must work together to discover what is really happening--and more importantly, why.

“Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist”, another movie that opened this weekend ranked third with $12,000,000.

In the movie, a lovable and sweet Michael Cera (“Superbad,” “Juno”) fills the nerd-ish shoes of Nick O’Leary, a lovesick chap who can’t get over a dreadfully phony girl (whom he considers to be one-of-a-kind) who left him months before. He keeps on burning playlist CDs while thinking of her and that sort of wraps up his current life. On the other hand, Norah Silverberg, superbly impersonated by Kat Dennings, is that well-known kind of beautiful girl who no one thinks is even cute, because she is far from being swanky, feisty and ostentatious. Thus, it doesn’t even cross her mind that she looks pretty, as she considers herself a gauche, graceless bighead. They end up looking a rock gig that is to be held in a clandestine spot. Many complications arise and all of them are funny in a comic-less manner or chaotic in an awkward way.

“Nights in Rodanthe”, a romantic movie starring Diane Lane nd Richard Gere, gained the fourth place with $7,355,000. The top 5 was completed by Ed Harris’ western “Appaloosa” with $5,015,000.

Rounding out the top 10 in sixth through 10th place, respectively were: Sony Corp.'s “Lakeview Terrace” starring Samuel L. Jackson, with $4.5 million, the comedy “Burn After Reading'” from the Coen brothers at $4.08 million, “Fireproof” from Samuel Goldwyn Co. with $4.07 million, “An American Carol” with $3.81 million and “Religulous” with $3.5 million.
