Semi-Pro topped the weekend box office with a $15.3 million opening that fell short of funnyman Will Ferrell's most recent pics. (
Talladega Nights did $47 mil, while
Blades of Glory carved out $33 mil.) Placing second was last week's champ,
Vantage Point (with $13 mil).
Rounding out the top five were
The Spiderwick Chronicles ($8.8 million),
The Other Boleyn Girl (opening with $8.3 mil) and
Jumper ($7.6 mil). Christina Ricci's long-concealed
Penelope premiered at No. 8, with $4 mil.
