High School Musical 3: Senior Year is still head of class at the box office.

With $15 million, it maintained the No. 1 spot for the second weekend in a row. (It has raked in $61.8 million in its 10 days at theaters.)

See fun new photos from High School Musical 3.

No. 2: Seth Rogen's raunchy new comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which earned $10.7 million.

Nabbing $10.1 million, Saw V was No. 3, followed by Angelina Jolie's kidnapping drama, Changeling, which took in $9.4 million in its first week of wide release.

Look back at unforgettable photos of Angelina Jolie on the big screen.

The Haunting of Molly Hartley debuted at No. 5 with $6 million.

"The target audience was out collecting candy or trick-or-treating Friday, but Saturday came back like a monster," Mark Zoradi, president of Disney's motion-picture group, told The Associated Press.

Steve Bunnell, head of distribution for Weinstein (which released Zack and Miri Make a Porno), said the movie's title may have hurt its performance at the box office.

Said Bunnell: "We were surprised that we ended up with the controversy. We thought everybody in America would understand that it was a joke."

She should stay home and take care of the newborn babies and bond with them but then again that isn't what she is all about! She's about adopting kids from other countries and letting them know how lucky they are for her to have rescued th

    Kat, Angie & Brad have two part-time nannies who doesn't even live with them. She is a stay at home mom most of the time. Do you really think her kids would smile at her or want her to hold them if she was a stranger. You can work and raise kids, if she works the kids are right there with her. She doesn't leave them at home. Get your facts right,

    Can people just get over the whole affair thing, EVERYONE involved have moved on! Please give them a break none of us knows what happened so we just need to let it rest. I'm not a fan theirs, but this article had nothing to do with her family or Jen Aniston Geesh. Get over it people. As far as i can tell Angelina Jolie has not said or done anything to try and "bribe" us.

    Angelina needs to go home and be with her children. Sure she has Brad to help, but he makes movies too and then with all of their humanitarian work, just how much time is really left for the kids? Kids shouldn't be raised by nannies, they need their parents. What's even crazier is that she wants more kids and still be able to do all she is doing!
