Battle at the Box Office 9/14

There is nothing more mystifying to me than why people keep turning up for all this Tyler Perry crap but “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” was number one at the box office this weekend with $24 million. Shane Acker and Tim Burton’s 9 came in second place with $10.9 million. The other new movies, Whiteout and Sorority Row came in at seventh and sixth respectively, each with just over $5 million. Inglourious Basterds stayed in the top 5 at third with $6.5 million and bringing it’s total to over $100 million. The Final Destination fell off to fifth place with $5.5 million and Gamer is almost ready to fall off the top ten, getting beaten by Julie and Julia, which is in it’s sixth week. Can the promise of Megan Fox killing boys with sex pull in big numbers this weekend for Jennifer’s Body or will Matt Damon clumsily charm America in The Informant or could Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs cook up big numbers?
