Denzel Washington and Chris Pine may have the movie called “Unstoppable”, but it was Will Ferrell’s “Megamind” that proved unstoppable at the box office for the second week in a row. With another studio estimated $30 million dollars over the weekend (good enough to hold onto the top spot), the CG movie “Megamind” has earned $89 million in two weeks of release so far. And people were saying Will Ferrell was a bad movie investment. Pfft. What do they know.
Ferrell’s 3D comedy easily bested newcomer “Unstoppable”, which despite failing to take the crown, still did a respectable $23.5 million, good enough for second place. Movies with Denzel Washington in front of the camera and Tony Scott behind it have always been pretty hit and miss, but this looks like a semi-hit for both men, so I’m guessing they’ll probably take it. Meanwhile, the budgeted alien invasion movie “Skyline” opened in fourth place with $11.6 million, while the romantic comedy “Morning Glory” took in a less than glorfied $9.6 million in its weekend debut, good enough for fifth place. You would think the romcom would have done much better, given that it’s the only chick-friendly flick in the bunch of new releases.
Last week’s #2, the Robert Downey Jr. comedy “Due Date” fell to third place, adding $15.5 million to its coffers, giving it $59 million in two weeks of release so far.
