Apocalypto and Beyonce claim the top spot!


Mel Gibson's bloody epic "Apocalypto" debuted as the No. 1 weekend movie, proving the filmmaker still can deliver a winner despite his drunken-driving arrest and anti-Semitic rant last summer.

"Apocalypto," a Disney release set in the Mayan civilization and told in an obscure Mayan language, opened with $14.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

It was a modest haul compared to the $83.8 million opening weekend of Gibson's last movie, the 2004 religious blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ," which went on to do $370 million domestically.

Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" climbed 1 rank higher from last week's #2 to #1 in Billboards Hot 100 tracks. Slipping through is Akon's 2 billboard entries,his 2nd single "I Wanna Love You" at #2 and "Smack That" featuring Eminem at #3. Gwen Stefani's "Wind it Up" continue to rise on the list,as it gains more airplays and sales. Will Beyonce remains irreplaceable at #1? We'll find out next week!
