Weekend Box Office: 'Museum' tops 'Terminator'

The family-friendly "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" topped the Memorial Day Weekend box office with an estimated $70.0 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com

The Ben Stiller comedy sequel was followed closely by the latest installment of the "Terminator" series, but with Christian Bale subbing for Arnold as the film's lead, "Salvation" couldn't reach No. 1 during the long holiday weekend.

Hey, the way things are going in California, Arnold might be back starring in Terminator 5.

Here's the preliminary totals for the Top 5 films (final numbers will be released Tuesday evening):
