Box Office: "The Lorax" Set to Defeat Dismal "John Carter"

Thanks to a dramatically disappointing showing by theatrical newcomers, it seems as though Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" will once again claim the top spot at the box office over the weekend of March 9-11, 2012.

Consisting of a star-laden lineup of voices including Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Betty White and Ed Helms, the animated tale pulled in an estimated $9.5 million on Friday while predicted to wind up with a second weekend total of $40 million.

With a runner-up opening weekend seeming inevitable, the Taylor Kitsch starring Disney theatrical newbie "John Carter" is estimated to wind up with $9.9 million on Friday with a predicted weekend total slated at $28 million - which isn't good news for the $250 million motion picture.

Rounding out the top five at the box office in estimated totals are teen party caper "Project X" ($11.5 million), followed by the Navy SEALs starring film "Act of Valor" ($7.5 million) and Elizabeth Olsen's just-released horror flick "Silent House" ($6 million).
