Ruben Fleischer’s Zombieland did indeed break the horror-comedy slump over the weekend by notching a $25 million opening — the second-highest debut ever for a zombie flick, just behind Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs held strong at #2 with another $16 million, no doubt taking a chunk of business away from the Toy Story/Toy Story 2 3-D re-release, which earned just $12.5 mil. Ricky Gervais’ The Invention of Lying had a rather lukewarm response with $7.35 million, while Surrogates rounded out the top 5. Both Whip It and Capitalism: A Love Story had somewhat disappointing (although not entirely unexpected) turnouts, landing them at #6 and #7 respectively. With all this competition, someone had to lose out, right?
