New
York
(ANI):
Megamind
has
topped
this
weekend"s
box
office,
leading
the
way
with
an
estimated
30.1
million
dollars,
and
upping
its
overall
take
to
90
million
dollars.
Morning
Glory,
the
pedigreed
TV
news
comedy
with
Rachel
McAdams,
Harrison
Ford
and
Diane
Keaton,
bowed
in
fifth
place,
with
under
10
million
dollars.
Since
opening
on
Wednesday,
the
movie
has
grossed
12.2
million
dollars,
a
start
that'll
probably
doom
it
to
ending
up
on
the
wrong
side
of
its
modest
40million-dollar
budget.
Skyline's
debut
wasn't
much
bigger
than
Morning
Glory's,
and
yet
it
was
a
whole
lot
more
successful,
reports
E!Online.
The
no-star
alien-invasion
flick
came
away
with
11.7
million
dollars,
leaving
the
film
already
on
the
right
side
of
its
Hollywood-cheap
10
million-dollar
budget.
Denzel
Washington's
Unstoppable
did
what
Denzel
Washington
runaway-train
movies,
a
la
'The
Taking
of
Pelham
1-2-3",
do:
about
23
million
dollar.
Among
the
holdovers,
James
Franco's
127
Hours
had
a
fantastic
second
weekend,
Robert
Downey
Jr.'s
Due
Date
had
a
nice
one,
and
Tyler
Perry's
For
Colored
Girls
had
a
nosedive-y
one.
Overall,
it
was
not
a
weekend
of
holiday
cheer
for
Hollywood.
Ticket
sales
were
down
20
percent
from
last
weekend,
and
about
12
percent
from
last
year,
when
2012
saved
the
day,
so
to
speak.
