The DreamWorks computer animated feature "Megamind" topped the box office for the second weekend in a row, earning an estimated $30.1 million, bringing its two week total to nearly $90 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.comThe comedy features the voice talents of Will Farrell, Tina Fey and Brad Pitt.
Although "Megamind" is bringing in a lot of extra income from higher 3D prices (64 percent of its business coming from 3D screens), some theaters have been discounting the normal $3 charge for 3D screenings to just 99 cents.
I was a bit surprised that "Skyline" did so poorly because it had a great trailer and alien-invasion movies tend to do much better. It opened at No. 4 with a paltry $11.7 million.
And no amount of hype could draw much of a crowd to "Morning Glory" featuring the 60-something leads of Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton plus the adorable Rachel McAdams. It took in less than $10 million in its first weekend.
