MUMBAI: Massive moviegoer turnout helped Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs dominate the box-office for the second weekend in a row with an intake of $24.6 million, a mere $6 million less than what it made on its debut weekend.
On the other hand Disney‘s science-fiction flick Surrogates starring Bruce Willis earned only $15 million.
Based on a comic book of the same name, Surrogates was expected by many box-office watchdogs to rule the weekend. Despite a close battle last Friday Meatballs led Surrogates by less than $1 million. But Saturday morning saw a new turn - the weekend matinees roped in the family crowd for the animated picture giving it enough of a boost to lead Surrogates by almost $10 million.
But Surrogates wasn‘t the only new film to fall victim to the ever-edible Meatballs. In third place, Fame managed only $10 million over the weekend, despite its family appeal.
Coming in third and fourth place were The Informant! and Tyler Perry‘s I Can Do Bad All by Myself respectively. Both films have been in theaters for two weeks or more and continue to do decent business.
