Movies continue to bring in big cash, as do familiar faces such as Nickelodeon’s "Spongebob," who celebrates his 10th year of living in a pineapple under the sea this year. A new entry to the top 10 list is Nick At Nite’s "George Lopez," showing that acquired comedies can help in acquiring big bucks.
