Thoughts:
Alot of movies swapped places with one another this week at the box office. Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail held the number one spot with an estimated $16.2 million. The film dropped alot when compared to last weeks numbers, but this shouldn't be a problem considering the film passed its budget and now stands at a total of $64 million with a shot at $85 million when its good and done.

Disney's Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience brought in $12.5 million which was well below what many expected. Last years Hannah Montana concert opened with $30 million and it was in less theaters too. Fox Searchlight's mega Oscar hit "Slumdog Millionaire" continued to dominate the charts and came in third place with an impressive $12 million which was up from last weeks numbers. I cant believe people are still seeing this movie, I mean I what have thought many people have already seen it by now. Coming in fourth place was Fox's sleeper action hit "Taken" with $9 million. The Liam Neeson thriller is still going strong and is already at $107 million in total. The film has definitely been Fox's good luck charm and should continue to bring in solid numbers in the coming weeks.

The chick flick "He's Just Not That Into You" from Warner Bros. took in $6 million this week for a total of $78 million. The film is going to have a slight problem reaching the $100 million sweet spot, but it definitely has a chance. Sony's Mall Cop continued to do good numbers even though the film was released sometime ago. The comedy starring Kevin James brought in $5 million for a total of $128 million. The stop-motion animated flick "Coraline" from Focus took a bit of a tumble this week due to Disney's Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience. The dark animated flick from director Henry Selick took home an average $5.2 million for a total of $61 million. I can still see the film reaching $70 million before the end of its run.

Fox's new release this week was Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li which came in eighth place with a measly $4.7 million. Honestly, who didn't expect this film to bomb? Rounding out the 9th and 10th spot was Disney's Confessions of a Shopaholic and Sony's Fired Up.
