Friday Box Office: 9 Lives, Goods Bad

District 9 cost a mere $30 million to make, and judging by its performance yesterday, it should make that budget back and then some by the end of this weekend. The alien actioner brought in $14.2 million for first place, followed by The Time Traveler's Wife with a solid $7.7 million. Faring less well were The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, which brought in only $2 million, and the teen movie Bandslam, which couldn't even crack the top ten.
