Box Office Report: Week of 9/18


This week at the box office, love wasn't happening, Jennifer's Body proved that sex really doesn't sell, America's obesity and obsession with food shone through, and audiences suprisingly had good taste. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs came at number one. It wasn't a surprise, but the amount of money it made was. The fact that it was in 3D is definitely a reason why it made a lot of money. The Informant! suprisingly came at number two. I guess movie goers still do have good taste. Tyler Perry enjoyed another good weekend with his newest one entitled I Can Do Bad All By Myself. Love Happens and Jennifer's Body both bombed. This wasn't surprising for Love Happens, but I guess this just shows advertisers that in the future, Megan Fox shouldn't be the sole reason to attract people. And let's face it, the little amount of money that Jennifer's Body did make was just from underage, horny teenage boys.
1. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (in 3D in some locations)-$30.1M
2. The Informant!-$10.5M
3. I Can Do Bad All By Myself-$10.1M
4. Love Happens-$8.5M
5. Jennifer's Body-$6.8M
6. 9-$5.5M
7. Inglourious Basterds-$3.6M
8. All About Steve-$3.4M
9. Sorority Row-$2.5M
10. The Final Destination-$2.4M
