'10,000 B.C.' hunts up $35.7 million

The previous weekend's top flick, New Line Cinema's basketball comedy "Semi-Pro" starring Will Ferrell, tumbled to fourth place with $5.8 million. That brought its 10-day total to just $24.7 million, a poor showing for a Ferrell comedy.

Debuting at No. 5 was Lionsgate's heist thriller "The Bank Job," which opened with $5.7 million. Jason Statham stars as a former crook drawn back to a life of crime when he's lured into robbing a Lloyd's of London bank vault.

In narrower release, Focus Features' 1930s comedy "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" opened with $2.5 million in 535 theaters for an average of $4,750 a cinema, compared to $10,478 in 3,410 theaters for "10,000 B.C." and $5,174 in 2,706 locations for "College Road Trip."

"Miss Pettigrew" stars Frances McDormand as a destitute British governess who bluffs her way into a gig as social secretary to a flighty American actress (Amy Adams).
