In the battle of the 80′s remakes, The Karate Kid came out on top. The new take on the 80′s classic pulled in around $55.6 million and doubled it’s weekend opponent of The A-Team, which made around $25.6 million. The winner of the last couple of weeks, Shrek Forever After, dropped down to third with another $15.7 million. Pretty much everything else slid down a spot or two with the only major movement coming from Sex and the City 2, which dropped from fifth to eighth. The Karate Kid came out on top most likely due to it’s family friendliness but what will happen this weekend when the even more family friendly juggernaut of Toy Story 3 comes out?
