...with plenty of muscle - and some steroids in the form of a last-minute 3-D version on about 1,500 screens - Clash of the Titans was No. 1 at the North American box office with $61.4 million, according to early studio estimates. The Greek-myth epic topped the previous best Easter weekend entry, 2006's Scary Movie 4, by about 50%. (Clash's $135 million budget was three times as high as SM4's.)
