"Dr. Seuss' the Lorax" has topped at the Box Office this weekend leaving to Edgar Rice Burroughs' "John Carter" the second place. The Universal Pictures' animated adventure based on the children's book, went straight to number one for its second week with grosses of $39.1 million raising the total earnings to $122 million in 10 days, while "John Carter" grossed in its opening week $30.6 million despite Disney estimated an whopping $250 million.

The movie's salvation could come overseas, where "John Carter" opened in 55 markets with $70.6 million, giving it a worldwide total of $101.2 million. The stronger international business helps, but that worldwide total still pales compared to global debuts of $200 million and up for many modern blockbusters.

Meanwhile, the Warner Bros. teen comedy "Project X" held up well in its second weekend with $11.6 million to finish at No. 3 and raise its domestic haul to $40.1 million.

Elizabeth Olsen's horror tale "Silent House," released by Open Road Films, opened modestly at No. 4 with $7 million. Olsen plays a young woman terrorized inside her family's spooky summer home.
