Michael Douglas' return as the greedy Gordon Gekko is good for the box office. "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," the sequel to the 1987 hit "Wall Street," won the weekend race at the box office with million gross.

The sequel, which also stars Shia LaBeouf, is Douglas' number one opener since 2001 and LaBeouf's sixth number one since 2007, eonline.com notes.
