Despite its flaws (and there are way too many to list), Star Wars Episode II unsurprisingly shot to the top of the charts this weekend, taking in an estimated $86 million.
Because it opened on Thursday, the film has taken a total of $116 million so far. Spider-Man took the number two slot with a still impressive $46 million, and the only film to risk opening against Star Wars, About A Boy, came in at number four with $8.6 million.
