Friday Box Office: Even Richer Meatballs

hader_meatballs_mid.jpg

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs rained on Surrogates Friday for the weekend's box-office lead, though neither Sony nor Disney are gloating too much about being at the top of another sluggish frame at the movies. Meatballs' $5.5 million narrowly edged Surrogates' anemic $5 million, and the hemorrhaging worsened on down the line for second-week slumpers like The Informant, Jennifer's Body and Love Happens. At least there was good news for the troubled MGM, whose relatively mini-budgeted Fame took in $3.5 million for third place and stands to turn a tidy theatrical profit en route to DVD. Baby steps, gang! Check out Friday's top 10 after the jump.
