Baby Mama won the weekend with a solid $18.27 million opening, according to studio estimates released on Sunday. That's a little above expectations, and contributed to a strong weekend overall, with a projected total gross for all movies of $91 million -- 17% up from the same weekend last year. Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay also made a good start with an estimated $14.57 million, which is almost as much as Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle made in its entire theatrical run.

At the other end of the scale, Deception opened with a very soft $2.23 million from 2,001 theaters, and only just made the top 10.
