Despite last week's menu of science fiction and dance movies it turns out the public was hungry for something else: Meatballs. The animated family comedy held onto first place for the second week, beating out its nearest competitor by about $10 million. Here's the top five:
1. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: $25 million
2. Surrogates: $14.9 million
3. Fame: $10 million
4. The Informant!: $6.6 million
5. Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself: $4.8 million
Four new releases this week:
The Invention of Lying
What's It All About: Ricky Gervais directs and stars in this comedy set in a world where everyone tells the truth and one man learns the art of lying.
