This week was a pleasant surprise at the box office. Where the Wild Things Are landed at number one with about the money the expected it to and The Stepfather did well against its competition. The real stars of the weekend were Law Abiding Citizen and Paranormal Activity. Many people were sure that Law Abiding Citizen would fail, but this is far from what happened. It actually was quite a hit at the box office. Paranormal Activity did well, but far better than expected. It expands more next week. Can it make it past third place and maybe even damage Saw VI? We'll see! On a side note, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has officially crossed the $100 million dollar mark at the box office. Who woulda thought it?
1. Where the Wild Things Are-$32.5M
2. Law Abiding Citizen-$21.2M
3. Paranormal Activity-$20.2M
4. Couples Retreat-$17.9M
5. The Stepfather-$12.3M
6. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (in 3D in some locations)-$8.1M
7. Zombieland-$7.8M
8. Toy Story/Toy Story 2 Double Feature-$3.0M
9. Surrogates-$1.9M
