Box Office Results News (Page 3)

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
5. Duplicity: $7.6 million

Really, movie goers?!?

For some reason, Nicolas Cage's most recent mailed-in effort, Knowing, topped the box office this weekend. Here's a look at the complete top five:

1. Knowing: $24.8 million
2. I Love You, Man: $18 million
3. Duplicity: $14.4 million
4. Race to Witch Mountain: $13 million
5. Watchmen: $6.7 million

People ran to the box office this weekend to see Knowing. We have no idea why.

The acclaimed graphic novel adaptation Watchmen definitely did not maintain its box office rankings as predicted.  Watchmen dropped below Disney's family-friendly remake of Race to Witch Mountain.

Here's a chart of the final numbers from over the weekend:

1. Race to Witch Mountain: $25 million
2. Watchmen: $18.1 million
3. The Last House on the Left: $14.7 million
4. Miss March: $2.4 million

Watch out... Watchmen.  Sorry, that was cheesy even by our standards.

During a weekend when no other major new movie even bothered to challenge it for box office supremacy, Watchmen easily finished with the greatest haul from the last few days.

Here's a look at the weekend's top five, with this critically-questionable graphic novel adaption leading the way:

1. Watchmen: $55.6 million
2. Madea Goes to Jail: $8.8 million
3. Taken: $7.4 million
4. Slumdog Millionaire: $6.9 million
5. Paul Blart: Mall Cop: $4.2 million

No film dared to mess with Rorschach and company this weekend.

The Jonas Brothers might be a top-selling musical group, but they have a long way to go before they're movie stars.

The trio couldn't stop Tyler Perry from taking the top spot at the box office again. A look at the top five:

• Madea Goes to Jail: $16.5 million
• Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience: $12.7 million
• Slumdog Millionaire: $12.1 million
• Taken: $9.9 million
• He's Just Not That Into You: $5.8 million

While Hollywood went to the Oscars last night, movie goers went to jail with Madea.

Tyler Perry's latest comedy raked in millions, dominating the weekend's box office haul. Here's a look at the complete top five:

1. Madea Goes to Jail: $41.1 million
2. Taken: $11.4 million
3. Coraline: $11 million
4. He's Just Not That Into You: $8.5 million
5. Slumdog Millionaire: $8 million

Friday the 13th proved to be a major hit on Friday the 13th.

The horror movie remake dominated the weekend's box office take, earning more than the combined totals of the second and third place films. Here's a look at the top five:

2. He's Just Not That Into You: $19.6 million
3. Taken: $19.2 million

Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore and company had reason to smile this morning: their romantic comedy, He's Just Not That Into You, ranked number-one at the box office.
