Monday, March 2, 2009


Just when Disney thought the Jonas Brothers' concert film would do as well as the one Miley Cyrus did a year ago, its hopes were dashed by the ever present Madea. Tyler Perry's 'Madea Goes To Jail,' which also stars Derek Luke and Keshia Knight Pulliam, sustained its position atop the box office with an estimated $16.5 million. Its total take now stands at $64.9 million, making it the biggest Perry movie yet, surpassing 'Madea's Family Reunion,' which took in $63.3 million total when it came out in 2006.

Coming in second place with a disappointing $12.7 million was 'Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.' A year ago, Disney scored well with 'Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour.' That film brought in an astonishing $31 million from just 683 theaters. The Jonas film was played in twice as many theaters but failed to bring in the same numbers.

Capitalizing on its Oscar win for best picture, 'Slumdog Millionaire' ranked third, with an estimated $12.2 million. The Fox Searchlight film has grossed $115.1 million since its release in November. Crossing the $100 million mark with the $9 million it brought in this weekend was the fourth-place film 'Taken.' The Liam Neeson film has a total cume of $107 million. Rounding out the top five was the romantic comedy 'He's Just Not That Into You,' with $5.8 million. The film, which stars Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck and Justin Long, has a total take of $78.5 at the box office.
