This weekend at the box office, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs continued to feed audiences looking for laughs and a good time at multiplexes. Surrogates starring Bruce Willis got off to a decent start coming in second place. The other 2 releases for the frame, Pandorum and Fame, failed to connect with movie goers and were dead on arrival.

Three new films open in wide release this weekend. Bruce Willis returns with his first lead role since 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard in sci-fi action flick, Surrogates. MGM will try to recapture the glory days of the 80’s with its reimagining of the popular movie and television property, Fame. Dennis Quaid is lost in space in sci-fi horror film, Pandorum, but is the forecast for this box office weekend still Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs? Let’s take a look.

Mamma mia! Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs dominated the frame making more money than the other 3 new releases of the week combined. The Informant! and Love Happens had decent debuts although the future doesn’t look very good for either of them. The much hyped Jennifer’s Body starring Megan Fox is a big bomb and although most of the industry was surprised by this, I can’t say that I am.

This weekend four new films are unleashed at the box office.  3-D animated kids flick, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, leads the pack and has the best chance at taking #1. Megan Fox will try to prove her box office power with campy horror film, Jennifer’s Body. Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston flirt in romantic drama, Love Happens and Matt Damon goes undercover to battle corporate greed in The Informant! How will it all play out? Let’s take a look.

This weekend at the box office Tyler Perry’s latest, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, easily took the top spot, grossing more than double the amount of its closest competitor. Animated film, 9, had a solid opening in second place while the other 2 new releases, horror film, Sorority Row and thriller-chiller Whiteout crashed and burned below the top 5.

The summer movie season may be over, but fall is starting with a bang as 4 new movies enter multiplexes. Tyler Perry is back with his second film this year, I Can Do Bad All By Myself, and Kate Beckinsale will brave the cold weather in thriller-chiller, Whiteout. Somebody is picking off college chicks in slasher movie, Sorority Row and producer Tim Burton brings us PG-13 animated adventure film, 9, which opened on Wednesday. How will it all play out? Let’s take a look.

With Labor Day weekend behind us, the summer box office season is officially over.   3 new movies closed out the season; another romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock, All About Steve, action flick Gamer starring Gerard Butler and workplace comedy, Extract starring Jason Bateman.  None of them were powerful enough to grab the top spot from The Final Destination which remained box office champ for the second weekend in a row. 

Is it Labor Day already? The summer flew by as we enter the last box office frame of the season. 3 new films will try to capitalize on the last weekend of summer; action flick, Gamer, starring Gerard Butler, another rom-com starring Sandra Bullock, All About Steve and Extract from director Mike Judge and starring Jason Bateman. Can any of these films take the top spot from The Final Destination? Let’s take a look.

The battle of the horror films came to an end with The Final Destination soundly beating Halloween 2 by a great deal. Destination had more expensive 3-D tickets in its favor and a slightly bigger theatre count as well. Inglorious Basterds proved it had legs, defying most industry expectations and it turns out that not many people were feeling nostalgic as Taking Woodstock opened weakly in 9^th place.

It’s a scary weekend at multiplexes this weekend as 2 fright flicks go head to head. Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 is going to have to square off with The Final Destination 3-D for the attention of horror fans everywhere. It seems rather strange to me that 2 high profile horror movies are opening on the same weekend, but it certainly makes it interesting from a box office perspective. Also opening in 1300 theatres nationwide is Taking Woodstock from director Ang Lee. Which horror film will reign supreme? Let’s take a look.
