WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader tops the chart with 24.5 million -- but that's a lot less than either The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe or Prince Caspian.  Overseas sales will likely ensure a decent profit on this Narnias 150 million production budget, but the franchise may be over.  The Tourist debuted in second with 17 million, but with Depp and Jolie starring, this has to be considered a big ouch against a 100 million budget.  Again, international sales will save this from being a big loss, but it's a giant waste of star power. Tangled - which crossed the 100 million mark before the weekend - had a decent hold in the third slot with 14.6 million; it should continue to hold well through the end of the year, unless Yogi Bear turns out better than I suspect. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 comes in at No. 4 with 8.5 million, suffering a 50 drop, but still marginally ahead of Goblet of Fire, as the franchise goes.  No tears, as Harry has pulled in 778 million worldwide so far on a reported 200 million budget.  Unstoppable hangs on to round out the Top Five with 3.8 million; its 74.2 million domestic total to date is not as strong as The Book of Eli, but still one of Denzel's stronger showings.  Below the fold, Black Swan comes in sixth with 3.3 million on a tiny 94 screens.

MILEY CYRUS celebrated her 18th birthday by smoking the legal hallucinogen salvia with a bong. Billy Ray Cyrus is "so sad." It may end up in a Salvia ban.
