As reported on the MP home page earlier today, “Vantage Point” topped the box office this weekend with a $24 million haul, almost twice as much as second-week release “Jumper” ($12.65 million), which saw a large decline. “The Spiderwick Chronicles” ($12.6 million) took third, followed by “Step Up 2 the Streets” ($9.7 million), “Fool’s Gold” ($6.2 million) and “Definitely, Maybe” ($5.1 million).

As for the Oscars, Media Predict nailed three of the top four categories. The markets missed Marion Cotillard for Best Actress (as did many), but they did place her as a close second to favorite Julie Christie.

Amy Winehouse and Herbie Hancock got big boosts in the Billboard 200 from their Grammy hauls, each rocketing into the top 5 with Winehouse’s “Back to Black” hitting No. 2 behind Jack Johnson’s “Sleep Through the Static.” Hancock soared from No. 159 to No. 5.

For the week of February 11, FOX nabbed the top 3 spots in the Nielsen ratings with two episodes of “American Idol” and “Moment of Truth.” Tied for No. 4 were “60 Minutes,” “Deal or No Deal” and “Lost.”

Other than the late Benazir Bhutto’s “Reconciliation,” which hit the NYT non-fiction bestseller list at No. 2, there was minimal shake-up at the top on the NYT bestseller lists. Michael Pollan’s “In Defense of Food” holds steady at #1. John Grisham’s “The Appeal” and James Patterson’s “7th Heaven” remained 1 and 2 on the fiction list.
