The family flick easily beat other new films over the weekend -- including the Justin Timberlake sci-fi film In Time, which earned a disappointing $12 million, landing in the number 3 spot. Johnny Depp's The Rum Diary flopped with just $5 million and a number 5 ranking its first weekend out
Last week's huge number one hit, Paranormal Activity 3, earned another $18.5 million, placing it second and bringing its overall earnings so far to $81.3 million; at number four this weekend, Footloose grabbed an additional $5.4 million.
The cute kitty crusader slayed 'em all!
Puss in Boots, the animated Shrek spinoff with Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in leading voiceover roles, was a box office hit its opening weekend, nabbing the number one spot with $34 million in ticket sales.The Shakespeare drama "Anonymous" was supposed to open nationwide this weekend, but Sony Pictures scaled back the release to 265 theaters after pre-release audience surveys indicated it wasn't resonating with moviegoers. The film collected $1 million, not a fantastic start for the $30-million picture. But Sony hopes the movie will benefit from positive word of mouth as it expands in the coming weeks.
