Weekend Box Office

This was opening weekend for a few movies and a test for others to see which flicks could hold their ground. The top movie at the box office was “The Grey,” bringing in $20 million. Liam Neeson leads the pack in this action-adventure about an oil drilling team who struggle for survival in the Alaska wilderness after their plane crashes and they are hunted by a pack of wolves. According to Media Stinger, there is a short extra scene after the credits, so don’t make a break for the door when the credits start rolling.

“Underworld: Awakening” dropped from No. 1 to No. 2 in its second week in theaters, beating out the Katherine Heigl movie, “One for theMoney,” which came in at No. 3.

“Red Tails” traded its No. 2 spot at the box office last week for No. 4 this week. Barely rounding out the top five was the new thriller, “Man on a Ledge,” bringing in $8.2 million for its opening weekend.
