A mid-March weekend at the box office is supposed to be a busy one with spring break beginning and four-quadrant films on offer. But the film industry is in such a terrible slump that Paramount's R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" was able to take No.

Thank, God, for Snow White next weekend, right? Who knew with that movie’s controversy we’d be saying that!? However, the industry should be thankful. If Snow White pulls off a $50M+ opening, that’s a respectable bump for what is a barren desert of a business right now.
