Weekend Box Office: January 30-February 1 2009

According to Box Office Mojo.

Surprisingly, an action movie (Taken) grabbed top spot despite this being Super Bowl weekend, with Renee Zellweger romantic comedy New In Town putting up some fairly dismal numbers. The movie was also the second-highest grossing movie of all time on Super Bowl Weekend (behind last year's Hannah Montana extravaganza). I guess you can't underestimate the appeal of Liam Neeson kicking some ass. Also nice to see Luc Besson (writer/director of The Fifth Element) getting a much needed hit, as he's credited with co-writing Taken.
