‘Meatballs’ Keeps Top Spot in Box Office in Second Week
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs kept the top slot this past weekend (Sep 25 – 27) in the box office. Newly opening Surrogates opened at #2 and Fame opened at #3. The only other opener was the new horror film Pandorum opening at #6. Who could have predicted that an animated movie about food falling from the sky would beat out the newest Bruce Willis action film?
