Up Flies Over All
What turned out to be a not-so-surprising end result, Disney/Pixar’s Up dominated the weekend box office. Raking in 68.2 Million, it jumps into the top three biggest opening Pixar movies (behind Finding Nemo & The Incredibles). Up, featuring the voices of Edward Asner and Jordan Nagai, was a film that definitely filled up the seats in a theater and cracked open the water works for those who know what this reporter is referring to.
"What are you freaked out for Russell? Were above everyone else."
Sam Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell tried to drag the horror fans out to the best of it’s abilities, but fell a little short by wrangling up 16 million, landing in fourth underneath the Ben Stiller starring film Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and McG’s Terminator Salvation. Wrangling in tons of mixed reviews did not help the film’s case either, even with the families making their trips to the movie theaters.
Every other film in the top ten faired pretty well, with Obsessed still getting a form of a crowd in while Terminator: Salvation hopes to get a consistent one to make up its 200 million dollar budget. The weekend intake is listed below:
