Step Up 2 the Streets (Disney) appears to have edged Fox’s big budget Jumper on Thursday, although technically, it’s a bit too close ro call the race definitively. The urban dance sequel has averaged an estimated $2,500 per location on its opening day for what looks to be a $6.175M total. The big budget sci fi/adventure flick starring Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson meanwhile has grabbed an estimated $6.03M Valentine’s Thursday for a softer $1,775 or so per screen.

The unusual Valentine’s Day kickoff to a 5-day weekend that includes President’s Day has provided a perfect opportunity for Fool’s Gold (Warner Bros) to jump-start its 2nd week as the Matthew McConaughey/Kate Hudson romantic comedy/action hybrid delivered another $3.42M, a 3rd place finish. Gold’s 7-day total is just shy of $30M.

2 new releases occupy the #4 and #5 spots. The well-reviewed Ryan Reynolds romantic comedy Definitely Maybe (Universal) has gotten off to a disappointing start with an estimated $2.78M or $1,276 per location. Paramount’s fantasy film The Spiderwick Chronicles rounds out the top 5 with $2.21M or so. With an expected surge in family business Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Spiderwick should finish no worse than 3rd in the competitive 5-day frame.
