“Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian ” had a chart-topping weekend at the box office, bringing in $70 million over the four-day holiday.

According to EW.com, the film’s opening, which marks Ben Stiller’s highest ever, nearly doubled the amount its predecessor earned back in 2006.

“Terminator Salvation,” starring Christian Bale, battled it out for second place earning $53.8 million, followed by “Star Trek” which grossed $29.4 million in its second weekend.

Twitterers critiqued each film:

   ChrMoosejaw Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian – twice as funny the first thanks to Hank Azaria. Lots of fun. Worth the $7 ea.

   godforhire Went to see “Night at the Museum 2″ the other night. Not bad but not great either. In fact, it seemed like a rehearsal of the first movie.

   dark_opus I gotta give the new Star Trek a 9 out of 10. I choose to withhold 1 measly point purely for nostalgia sake. Otherwise: fantabulous.
