Turtles over Spartans!

Turtles Make Soup of 300

And so it came to pass that "300" was vanquished by...a bunch of turtles.

"TMNT," the CGI-animated restart of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" franchise, scored a weekend-best $25.5 million at the box office, Exhibitor Relations Co. estimates said.

After two weekends at number one, the battle-tested "300" slipped to second, with a still-sizeable $20.5 million. All told, the manly man epic has bench-pressed $162.4 million, the year's biggest gross to date.

Here's a rundown of the top 10 films based on Friday-Sunday estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:

1. "TMNT," $25.5 million
2. "300," $20.5 million
3. "Shooter," $14.5 million
4. "Wild Hogs," $14.4 million
5. "Premonition," $10.1 million
6. "The Hills Have Eyes 2," $10 million
7. "The Last Mimzy," $9.5 million
8. "Reign Over Me," $8 million
9. "Pride," $4 million
10. "Dead Silence," $3.5 million
