Box Office Injustice

This week on Box Office Injustice, I was hoping that things would be slightly more just. Tragically, I was wrong. Paul Blart had a positive growth of 7.5%. Shameful. However, it was overall a good take for the studios. Record smashing results, blah, blah, blah. The International had a poor opening weekend, but who had the brilliant idea of releasing an action/suspense movie on Valentine's weekend? I'm glad to see that Taken is still going strong. Numbers have been rounded.

1. Friday the 13th $42 million
2. He's Just Not That Into You $19.6 million
3. Taken $19 million
4. Confessions of a Shopaholic $15 million
5. Coraline $15 million
6. Paul Blart $11.7 million (Why are people still going to see this?)
7. The International $10 million
8. The Pink Panther 2 $9 million
9. Slumdog Millionaire $7 million
10. Push $6.9 million

Coming this weekend to a theater near you are Fired Up and Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail. If you held a gun to my head and forced me to pick one, I'd go for Fired Up, but seriously, you're better off catching something, anything, else.
