Box Office: Friday Numbers

By Chase Kahn

Variety was quick to the chase this Saturday, posting yesterday's box-office numbers with very little intrigue. Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself is unsurprisingly on-pace to win the weekend unanimously with $8.6 million yesterday -- doing nothing to stop the Tyler Perry assembly line productivity more reminiscent of, say Warner Bros. in 1936.

Shane Acker's 9, a mediocre, glum and repetitive science-fiction animated film took in $3.3 million for second place in its third day (it came out on Wednesday). Sorority Row took in just $1.9 million despite extraneous efforts from Summit and Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds ($1.9 million), All About Steve ($1.8 million) and the Kate Beckinsale snowbound parka-thriller Whiteout ($1.7 million) rounded out the top 6.
