The animated 3D Shrek Forever After has been at the top of the box office for the third weekend in a row.
The movie has made a whopping $183 million domestically just in the last three weeks.
Get Him to the Greek took the #2 spot this weekend by making $17.4 million. Killers was not too far behind with $16.1 million.
Get Him to the Greek was sort of disappointing. We thought it was gonna be funnier than it actually was. It seemed like all the funny parts of the movie were in the commercial.

Shrek and his Donkey have been named the best onscreen film couple in a UK poll. It's kind of random, but cute.
Grace Carley, a representative for the U.K. Cinema Industry, says, "It's an unusual choice. Shrek and Donkey are not even human."
The animated pair were tied for first place with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in 1990's 'Pretty Woman.' 'Dirty Dancing' duo Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey tied in third with Homer and Marge in 2007's The Simpsons Movie.
Which on screen duo would get your vote?
