Box Office Results News (Page 2)

Here's a first in 2009: like last year's Minnesota Senatorial race, this weekend's box office match-up was too close to call.

A pair of sequels finished tied at the top, as evidenced in the rankings below:

1. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs: $42.5 million
2. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: $42.5 million
3. Public Enemies: $26.1 million
4. The Proposal: $12.7 million
5. The Hangover: $10.4 million

This just in: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a major hit!

Through Tuesday, the sequel's worldwide box office haul hit $448.4 million. It will soon pass Angels & Demons as the highest-grossing movie on the planet for 2009.

Domestically, the film has grossed $228.4 million in its two-week run. By early next week, it will undoubtedly overtake Up ($255 million through Tuesday) as the biggest movie in the States, as well.

Unsurprisingly, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has crushed the competition.

It may have received terrible reviews, but $200 million later, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is officially a hit.

The sequel grossed $201.2 million over its first five days of release, barely falling behind The Dark Knight's $203.8 million haul as the second-biggest five-day opening in history.

As far as just this weekend went, the film earned $112 million, easily topping the box office. Here's a look at the top five:

1. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: $112 million
2. The Proposal: $18.4 million
3. The Hangover: $17.2 million
4. Up: $13 million
5. My Sister's Keeper: $12 million

Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynold's The Proposal opened this weekend and dominated the box office proving America's desire for a mediocre romantic comedy.

Meanwhile, the Jack Black / Michael Cera buddy comedy, Year One, opened to much less impressive results pulling in only fourth behind existing movies.

Now for the final top four.

1. The Proposal - $34.1 million
2. The Hangover - $26.9 million
3. Up - $21.3 million
4. Year One - $20.2 million

Though Denzel Washington and John Travolta's The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 made its debut this past weekend, it could not keep up with repeat dominating weekends by Pixar's Up and the sleeper hit The Hangover.

So just how did all the movies fair this month?  Check out the box office results from this past weekend:

1. The Hangover: 33.4 million
2. Up: 30.5 million
3. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3: $25 million
4. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian: $9.6 million
5. Land of the Lost: $9.2 million

Miley Cyrus proved it last week and Zac Efron drove the point home this weekend: it's a tween world. The rest of us are just living in it.

Efron led 17 Again to the head of this weekend's box office. Take a look at the complete top five:

1. 17 Again: $24.1 million
2. State of Play: $14.1 million
3. Monsters vs. Aliens: $12.9 million
4. Hannah Montana: The Movie: $12.6 million
5. Fast & Furious: $12.3 million

This weekend's box office results confirms a sad, albeit true, fact: Miley Cyrus rules the world.

Her first major motion picture, Hannah Montana: The Movie, enjoyed the second-biggest Easter weekend opening of all-time. Here's a look at the top five:

1. Hannah Montana: The Movie: $34 million
2. Fast & Furious: $28.7 million
3. Monsters vs. Aliens: $22.6 million
4. Observe and Report: $11.1 million
5. Knowing: $6.6 million

So much for original concepts or titles.

Movie goers embraced the familiar this weekend, making Fast & Furious the number-one at the box office by an incredible margin. Here's the complete top five:

1. Fast & Furious: $72.5 million
2. Monsters vs. Aliens: $33.5 million
3. The Haunting in Connecticut: $9.5 million
4. Knowing: $8.1 million
5. I Love You, Man: $7.8 million

We're not sure who won the match-up of monsters vs. aliens, but this 3D adventure easily defeated other comers at the box office this weekend.

Here's a look at the complete top five:

1. Monsters vs. Aliens: $58.2 million
2. The Haunting in Connecticut: $23 million
3. Knowing: $14.7 million
4. I Love You, Man: $12.6 million

1. Knowing: $24.8 million
2. I Love You, Man: $18 million
3. Duplicity: $14.4 million
