  Info. from Box Office Mojo. The Lorax covered its $70m budget in just 2 days! Warner Bros. comedy Project X at number 2. Journey 2 proving quite profitable for The Rock following my predictions on his future financial successes - such as the upcoming G.I. Joe sequel. The Artist on 10 from last week's 13 due to the Oscar buzz. And Act of Valor no. 3 from no.1 again due to the Academy Awards about two weeks ago. We may not hear about a Ghost Rider part three for quite a while then.
