The animated superhero comedy "Megamind" was strong enough to fend off the debut of the train thriller "Unstoppable." The film, which features voiceover performances from funny guys and gals such as Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and Jonah Hill, took the weekend box-office crown for the second week in a row. The movie raked in $30 million, which shoots the flick's total estimated tally to over $89 million since its debut last week.
Denzel Washington and Chris Pine's action flick "Unstoppable," finished up its debut weekend on screens in second place. The locomotive-bound blood-pumper about a runaway train that houses deadly cargo, landed in theaters with an estimated $23.5 million.
Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey Jr.'s laugh-scoring vehicle "Due Date" remained a top-five pick among moviegoers. Audiences plunked down $15.5 million over the weekend to catch the duo's madcap, cross-country odyssey to deliver Downey's character in time for the birth of his child. The weekend number bumps the movie's total haul to an estimated $59 million.
The alien-invasion flick "Skyline" landed in theaters in fourth place. The sci-fi thriller, which revolves around how the planet deals with some unwelcome, otherworldly guests who descend from the sky in crazy-looking contraptions, captured $11.7 million during its debut weekend on screens. The movie stars Eric Balfour, Scotty Thompson and Donald Faison as friends in Los Angeles dealing with the extraterrestrial drama.
Rachel McAdams' turn as a career-minded young upstart in the rom-com "Morning Glory" opened in fifth place. The flick, which follows McAdams as she spars with cantankerous news veteran (Harrison Ford) and his daffy co-anchor (Diane Keaton) on a struggling morning show, picked up $9.6 million since hitting theaters on Wednesday.
