"Dog" proves itself to be a rewarding experience thanks in large part to an earnest performance from Channing Tatum, as well as one from his canine costar.

Three films debuted in the top ten of the box-office weekend as "Death on the Nile" claimed a first-place finish by $4.7 million ahead of last week’s top film, "Jackass Forever."

Despite some problems, director Kenneth Branagh's "Death on the Nile" plays as a well-crafted travelogue that happens to have a reasonably engaging murder mystery at its center.
