The North American box office ranking from April 30 to May 2, 2010 (local time) was released at midnight on May 3, 2010 (Beijing Time). The film *A Nightmare on Elm Street* (*New Nightmare Street*), which claimed to be a "prequel" but was actually an exact remake of the classic, successfully unseated *How to Train Your Dragon*, which was still performing strongly, and became the new box office champion.
*Furry Vengeance* (*Animal Revenge*) had a poor opening and ranked fifth in the box office chart. As the last dark period before the summer blockbuster season begins, the addition of these two new films gave some signs of recovery to the market. After hitting the lowest point of annual box office revenue last week, this week's total for the top 12 films reached $91.19 million, showing a slight increase after several consecutive weeks of decline. In contrast, at this time last year, *X-Men Origins: Wolverine* managed to withstand the enormous pressure of the "leak scandal" and ignited the North American movie market with an opening weekend box office of $87 million. Times have changed, and they are no longer comparable. However, with the glamorous arrival of *Iron Man 2* next week, the 2010 summer blockbuster season will officially kick off. Are you all ready?
