Weekend Box Office

Well there's only one animated feature left in the top 50 spots at the box office, and it's "Open Season."



According to Box Office Mojo, the film took in an additional $6.1 million this weekend, bringing its five week total up to $77.4 million. This also moves it up to the #21 spot for all-time top grossing computer animated films, behind "Robots" (#18 with $128.2 million), "Antz" (#19 with $90.8 million), and "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" (#20 with $80.9 million).

It's nice to see it slowly move towards the golden $100 million mark domestically, and worldwide it's already hit that mark. It should do pretty well in DVD sales as well, meaning that Sony will more than recoup their $85 million production budget, though I'm not sure how much was spent on advertising.

It's a good film, and has way more life than Sony's mo-cap films. If you haven't checked it out yet, you really should.
