DreamWorks first flick of 2008 failed to dominate at the box office as it scored weak $7.8 million over the weekend.

> The film opened in 2700+ theatres with a R-Rating but wasn't able to grasp the audience of 'Saw' and 'Hostel.'

Based on the terrifying best-seller by Scott Smith, "The Ruins" follows a group of friends who become entangled in a brutal struggle for survival after visiting a remote archaeological dig in the Mexican jungle - where they discover something deadly living among the ruins.

"The Ruins" stars Jonathan Tucker ("The Black Donnellys"), Jena Malone ("Pride and Prejudice"), Shawn Ashmore ("X-Men: The Last Stand"), Laura Ramsey ("She's the Man") and Joe Anderson ("Across the Universe"). The film is directed by Carter Smith from a screenplay by Scott B. Smith.
