Most of this weekend’s Boxoffice Draw was not surprising to me. The only thing I was really curious about was how well the Toy Story 3D Double Feature was going to rank, and I have to say I am impressed that it got that high.
Cinematical shares the totals:
1 – Zombieland (Sony) – $25.00 ($8,235) – $25.00
2 – Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Sony) – $16.70 ($5,610) – $82.39
3 – Toy Story / Toy Story 2 (Disney) – $12.50 ($7,163 ) – $12.50
4 – The Invention of Lying (Warner Bros.) – $7.35 ($4,306) – $7.35
5 – Surrogates (Touchstone) – $7.34 ($2,489) – $26.39
6 – Capitalism: A Love Story (Overture) – $4.85 ($5,042) – $5.25
7 – Whip It (Fox Searchlight) – $4.85 ($2,820) – $4.85
8 – Fame (MGM) – $4.75 ($1,517) – $16.63
9 – The Informant! (Warner Bros. ) – $3.80 ($1,567) – $26.58
10 – Love Happens (Universal) – $3.80 ($1,567) – $18.91
I quite expected Toy Story Double to land a little lower since the double feature would limit the number of times it was viewed, and the limited screens – so in reality that is an impressive number. But the real surprise this weekend was Drew Barrymore’s Whip It!
I honestly expected that to hit MUCH higher on the list with all the positive buzz and raving about the film.
