In a Photo finish (and one of the closet finish i ever seen), "Cowboys & Aliens" edges out "The Smuffs" for the number one movies this weekend. The former had $36,431,290
and the latter had $35,611,637. $800,000 seems like a lot, but in movies, that is really really close.

The only other debut in the top ten was "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Which moze on to the number in 5 slot with $19,104,303.
