Ocean’s Eleven sequel Ocean Twelve, featuring the glamorous trio George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon, dominated the weekend box office, pulling as much as $40.9 million from 3,290 theaters across the United States. The sequel, driven by immense star power of Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia and Catherine-Zeta Jones, who also joined the cast, stole the first place from National Treasure and has beaten the runner up vampire thriller Blade: Trinity that drew $16.1-million revenue.

“Moviegoers like their movie stars all in one place,” Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations told AP. “It’s like one-stop shopping for all the top stars in Hollywood.”

According to Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellmanm, producer Jerry Weintraub is already planning a second Ocean sequel. The original movie Ocean’s Eleven stole $38.1 million during the opening weekend of Ocean’s Eleven as it premiered three years ago.
