I certainly under estimated the power of a screaming child, saying “I wanna see that movie” over and over. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (very original title BTW) devoured the box office with $35 million for the top spot!
Prisoners took $11 million in ticket sales hostage and slipped into the number two spot.
Looks like not too many people rushed to see Rush, the Chris Hemsworth Oscar bait vehicle, which took in only $10.3 million in it’s opening week in the number three spot.
The indie comedy Baggage Claim came in at number four with $9.3 million.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s pet project Don Jon didn’t have much appeal coming in at number five with an even $9 million. Interestingly, the film was released in more theatres than both Baggage Claim and Rush, but still pulled in less money.
Insidious Chapter 2 scared up another $6.7 million at number six, making its total domestic gross almost $70 million. Not too shabby for a budget of $5 million!
The Family fell to number seven with just $3.6 million after just three weeks in release.
Still going strong is the surprise Indie/foreign hit Instructions Not Included, who’s total domestic gross is now almost $40 million with another $3.4 at the number eight spot.
We’re the Millers came in at number nine with $2.8 million added to its total domestic gross of $143 million. We’ll most likely see them fall out of the top ten next week. This movie has been in the top ten longer than most movies take to be released on DVD! Go Jason and Jen!
Rounding out the top ten was Lee Daniel’s The Butler, whose total domestic gross is now almost $111 million. Look for this movie to clean up big with DVD sales as well.
Check out the full box office chart below.

Next week I’m predicting Gravity (look for my movie review soon) at the number one spot by a narrow margin over Runner Runner. Tune in to see if I’m right!
Until then, happy movie going.

Oh Susan, for I have waited and checked and double check and there you were waiting for me like a beacon of sunshine raining joy upon the masses. Oh… If only you were a winner this week, I have decided that no, I will not be upset because I know Susan that you are a winner, a winner on the game of life.
I wish I could get some milk and jasper straws and make you a liquid lather and draw you a bath in a hot spring with a small raccoon who will paddle around you wisking the dead skin cells off our body. Oh Susan, the water and miles and rocky shores will not make me dance any less. I will do the dance in your honor, I call it the “frot frott frottt dance” I understand this might be uncommon but for you Suddenly Susan and I will break it down.
You take the right foot and shake it, and then the left foot gets a small tingle, it wants to jump, so you start to jump, and take your arms and toss them at the sky to tell the stars hello. Then you take your cervix and thrust while propelling your feet over a half inch. and then you repeat until you want to rest your head on the bosom of life.
Oh..
It’s like finding a deer and nursing it back to life if it’s hurt or damaged. Like a fawn with a trippy nail. Oh Susan and if you were here you would clip that nail and nurse that fawn. Oh Susan… For you are the healer of the unhealed. I want to just sing a song for Suddenly Susan!
Still no puppy but I’m looking at a meadowlark to allow him to sing. Oh to sing! To Sing and sing and sing! but I want that damn puppy!
Heading out to see the burly one. I wish the Frenchman can wisk us away like he did to you.
Suze the Muze!
I wanna see Rush. Looks good. Not loving the super long hair he was hotter before. At least he’s not the droopy Jake.
you’ll pick right next week. Sandy B. in the house!
hello Suddenly Susan this is Siebert.
I like your writing you have a way with the proverbial word.
Go Meatballs!
