"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" Enjoys Delicious Box-Office Weekend! See Complete Top 10 List!
Money fell from the sky for Sony's "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!" The 3-D animated family comedy debuted at No. 1 with $30.1 million leading this weekend's films.
It was a busy weekend at the movies, and the fun family treat beat Matt Damon, Jennifer Aniston, and Megan Fox at the box-office.
Coming in at No. 2 was Steven Soderbergh's "The Informant!." Matt Damon famously gained 30 lbs to play a bipolar whistle blower and the actor literally disappeared in his role! Phenomenal job!
"The Informant!" made $10.5 million, slightly beating previous weekend's No. 1 film, "I Can Do Bad By Myself." The Tyler Perry film fell down 57% to No. 3 with $10 million.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston's romantic dramedy with Aaron Eckhart called "Love Happens" came in fourth with $8.5 million. Many insiders are saying that viewers are tired of seeing Aniston in romantic comedies. This is another failure for Universal Pictures.
And then, there's "Jennifer's Body." Being sold as Megan Fox's first starring role failed to attract its teenage male demographics. The much publicized girl-on-girl kiss between Fox and Amanda Seyfried did not entice its viewers.
It's surprising for a horror film with names like Diablo Cody (the "Juno" scriptwriter wrote the script and executive-produced "Jennifer's Body") and Fox to fail at the box-office. But, "Jennifer's Body" is a flop with a paltry $6.8 million box-office take. It's the lowest among the weekend's new batch of films.
Here's the estimated Top 10 list of box-office films for weekend of Sept. 18:
1. "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," $30.1 million.
2. "The Informant!" $10.5 million.
3. "I Can Do Bad All By Myself," $10 million.
4. "Love Happens," $8.5 million.
5. "Jennifer's Body," $6.8 million.
6. "9," $5.5 million.
7. "Inglourious Basterds," $3.6 million.
8. "All About Steve," $3.4 million.
9. "Sorority Row," $2.5 million.
10. "The Final Destination," $2.4 million.
