• Although Tyler Perry's lucky streak is still going strong, since Madea Goes to Jail debuted at #1 with $41 mil, critics still aren't as impressed with him as his fans are. Fired Up, however, predictably opened with a mediocre $6 mil at #9. With the lack of new films in theaters, surprise hit Taken jumped up one spot to #2 with $95 mil, animated masterpiece Coraline moved up two spots to #3 with $53 mil, and the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire climbed up four spots to #5 with $98 mil. On the flipside of things, conspiracy thriller The International freefell after its second week to #10 with an embarrassing $17 mil. Friday the 13th may have opened big in its first week, but it dropped dramatically to #6 with $55 mil. Rom-coms He's Just Not That Into You and Confessions of a Shopaholic came in at #4 with a healthy $70 mil and at #7 with $28 mil. While Paul Blart: Mall Cop is on its way out at #8 after 6 weeks with $121 mil, The Pink Panther 2 exited the top 10 with a disappointing $29 mil and Push was shoved out with a meager $25 mil.
