Animationless Box Office

Or: Why did I go to my neighborhood AMC?"

Not an animated feature in sight unless you count the Bay/Spileberg Transformers, now residing at #18 with a $317 million total and an end-of-run gross of $200,000.

This weekend's b.o. list has Why Did I Get Married in the top spot with a $7.7 million Friday take, and We Own the Night at #2...

The well-reviewed comes Michael Clayton lands at #3 (although it has the second-highest per screen average) and the sophomore offerings bump down to mid-list.

Update: The weekend estimates are in, and Why Did I Get Married elopes with $21.5 million and the top spot. (Janet J.'s fans really turned out.)

The Game Plan drops a mere 30.7% to cop $11.5 million and a $59,447,000 total and the Place position.

Michael Clayton edges out We Own the Night for #3, while Ben Stiller and the Coen brothers tailspin 47% with Heartbreak. They now own a $26 million total after two weekends, which will cause heartburn for DreamWorks-Paramount.

Meanwhile, 3:10 to Yuma slows in its sixth week of release, dropping to the twelve position and a $1.5 million take. It now carries $51.5 million its saddlebags.
