“The Green Hornet” buzzed into the top spot at the box office over the weekend.

The tongue-in-cheek superhero film, starring Seth Rogen as a playboy-turned-crime-fighter earned $34 million during its opening weekend, according to studio estimates released yesterday.

The action flick gunned down last week’s No. 1, the Western “True Grit,” which dropped to No. 3.

The weekend’s other major new release, Universal’s “The Dilemma,” opened in the No. 2 spot. The comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Kevin James as partners at an automobile design firm earned $17.4 million.

Hollywood’s overall revenues this weekend continued the slump that’s persisted through the fall and holiday season.

Ticket sales this weekend totaled $115.2 million, down 25 percent compared with the same period last year.

“The King’s Speech” took the No. 4 spot with $9 million in sales, and “Black Swan” danced into the Top 5 with $8.1 million.
