This was the third consecutive week boasting a movie with a nerdish hero, as Dragon followed She's Out of My League (which finished sixth this weekend, with a total gross of $25.6 million), and Diary of a Wimpy Kid (in fifth place, with $35.8 million).

And though his character doesn't exist in the original comic, Buscemi's self-hating, nerdish record collector Seymour could easily have stepped out of its pages...
...four-eyes lives on campus, he's refined his apparatus to the point that he needn't leave his room because nobody's seen him yet. In fact, a historical survey of Harvard inventors proves that practicality and an urge to make a buck have long quashed students' nerdish creative impulses...
