'Real Steel,' 'Footloose' duke it out for No. 1

The robot boxers of "Real Steel" and the dancers of "Footloose" are in a tight fight for the box-office title.

Senh: Like I said in my previous post, I knew "Real Steel" will come out on top because of the weekend business. Teens tend to rush out during the opening day, where as families tend to wait until the weekends. Still, I'm not sure if "Real Steel" is holding up well enough to make back its $110M production budget. It's doing well, probably a lot better than most people's expectations, but the budget's pretty high. Hugh Jackson hasn't proven that he can draw a huge audience when he's not Wolverine - that is, until "Real Steel."
