It was a successful weekend at the American box office this weekend if you were an animated 'toon as Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs topped the charts with $30.1 million.
Steven Soderbergh's latest, comedy drama The Informant! nabbed second place, taking home $10.5 million, while Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself slipped down to third with $10 million.
It wasn't such a good weekend for rom com Love Happens, as even the starring power of Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart couldn't boost the film above fourth and $8.4 million.
Finally, Jennifer's Body couldn't ride the Megan Fox ride - flopping into fifth place and taking just $68 million - though given that it cost an affordable $16 million, that's not a huge tragedy for its earning power.
The full top 10, then…
- Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs ($30.1 million)
- The Informant! ($10.5 million)
- Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself ($10 million)
- Love Happens ($8.4 million)
